Police officers watch the overflowing river Nilahue after the eruption of the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano in Los Venados, Chile, on June 9, 2011. The volcano erupted Saturday after remaining dormant for decades, causing the evacuation of about 3,500 people in the nearby area and carrying ash across the Andes to Argentina.
