The authorities in Argentina and Chile have issued an alert over increased activity at the Copahue volcano, which has begun spewing smoke and gas.
Many residents have already left the area as a precaution.
An orange volcano alert, the second highest, has been issued in both countries.
The 3,000m (10,000ft) volcano is in Argentina's south-western Neuquen province, which borders the Biobio region of Chile.

An orange volcano alert, the second highest, has been issued in both countries. I had no idea that Copahue was an "orange volcano". It must be especially dangerous.

Throw Ms. Kirchner into the volcano, that ought to appease it.

Uh-oh - The two countries are now on red alert. Guess that Mayan doomsday scenario was a little off by a few.
