Chile volcano's spreading ash cloud

- Experts say Chile's Chaiten volcano could belch out ash for months to come.

Some experts say it could rumble on for years. Residents have been evacuated from the surrounding area after the long dormant volcano began erupting several days ago for the first time in thousands of years. Located in the country's southern Patagonia region, Chaiten has showered towns as far away as neighbouring Argentina in ash.
