The Calbuco volcano in Chile, one of the country's three most dangerous volcanoes, erupted Wednesday. There have been no reported casualties as the Chilean government was able to respond quickly to the eruption, evacuating some 4,000 people living in the vicinity of the volcano, reports the BBC. A state of emergency is in place for a 12-mile radius surrounding the volcano, and flights arriving and departing the region have been cancelled. According to officials at the scene, the volcano seems to have expended the majority of its energy some time around 3:30 a.m. local time, so it is unlikely that there will be any further eruptions.
