Mid week I travelled down Chile to a resort called Pucon. Home of the Villarrica Volcano which last erupted last year 2010.
Ascents of the volcano are popular with several guided ascents reaching the top during summer, unfortunately due to weather I was unable to climb it myself, and instead enjoyed a few hours soaking in it's thermal springs.
What's cool about Villarica, with its lava of basaltic-andesitic composition, it is one of only five volcanoes worldwide known to have an active lava lake within its crater.
Anyhow here's a few photos taken as close as I got, did like seeing the warning system, made me feel a bit like I was on a film set!
