Yeah I saw that. Stuff just puffs up out of the ground. I'm surprised
there was not a lot of sulphurous stuff along with it to warn people off
from the areas.
I went to Volcán Villarrica some years ago, climbed up to the top and
around the caldera. It was sorta fuming away down in the caldera, when
the wind was blowing it our way it was most foul, the devil's breath.
There is a ski run that starts at the top, a chair lift that will take
people up in the winter, we hiked up. We got to slide back down on the
snow on our asses with an ice pick to slow us down, it was tons of fun,
lot easier getting down than up!

Yes, tons and tons of poisonous gas.
Nova had a neat documentary on African volcanoes the other night, child
deaths from the high concentrations of CO2 that collected in low spots was
apparently common. Kids would play in the fields and get down into ditches and
depressions and just pass out from lack of oxygen.
