SANTIAGO.- Officers from the Regional Emergency Office (ONEMI) are planning to install seismometers in the Maule region amid an increase in smoke columns coming from the crater of the Peteroa volcano.
This isn't an eruption notice. Apparently melting of glaciers on Peteroa (global warming?) is causing the underlying fumaroles to smoke more than formerly.
Peteroa is much closer to Chile's capital, Santiago, than Chaiten volcano is, but is still no real danger to Santiago.
