Villarrica volcano located in Southern Chile erupted Tuesday, March 3, 2015 and is South America's most active volcano in the region.
Erupting around 3 a.m., residents evacuated after the possibility of mud slides caused by the eruption but luckily no fatalities were indicated.
The volcano is roughly 9,000 feet high and stretches to 400 miles wide. Hard to imagine ain't it?
Though it might be catastrophic and hazardous, many witness recall the event to a beautiful and mind blowing sight.

"It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen," 29-year-old Australian tourist Travis Armstrong said in a telephone interview from Pucon. "I've never seen a volcano erupt and it was spewing lava and ash hundreds of meters into the air. Lightning was striking down at the volcano from the ash cloud that formed from the eruption."
"'The eruption "was something beautiful and amazing. We're still a bit shocked but the volcano has calmed down so I'm going to continue with my vacation," Alejandra Paz Bustos, 29.."
And I would probably have the same reaction. The eruption looked absolutely stunning.
