Remember those nasty, heavy and still ongoing volcanic eruptions from Chile's Puyehe-Cordon Caulle volcanos?
They cancelled many flights...on and off in the Southern Cone...an even as far as Australia and New Zealand...for weeks.
The effects are far from over.
Large scale clean-ups remain of the deep ash coating.
And...experts estimate that 500,000 sheep have died so far from the heavy toxic mineral ash which covered most fields in Argentina's Chubut province.
The sheep die because they find it difficult to move while weighed down with ash and are unable to find food.
ALSO: SEE: 1:41 BBC video report on the ash's dramatic economic effect on the Argentine town of Villa La Angostura.
