Time lapse photography of Villarrica Volcano


From September 2nd 2006 a video camera with a telephoto lens captures images of the active Villarrica volcano, in the southern Andes of Chile.


The camera was installed 9 Km NE from the vent and takes photos every 10 sec, allowing to collect over time ash clouds and gas emissions and by night, the characteristical reddish glowing due to the reflection of the deep lava pond on the gas cloud. Once every month the more than 250.000 pictures will be processed and transfered into video files for further analysis.
