Smoke rises from Chaiten volcano at Chaiten town, located some 1220 km (760 miles) south of Santiago May 4, 2008. Covered in thick ash, the Patagonian community of Chaiten was a ghost town on Saturday as a volcano spewed ash a day after its first eruption in thousands of years forced nearly 4,500 people to flee.
