CHILE</A> - The crater of Chile's erupting Llaima volcano is blocked with debris that could prompt a pressure 
build-up and renewed explosions of lava, experts warned on Wednesday.
Llaima began spitting lava in a fresh bout of activity on Friday night.
It belched ash 4 miles (7 km) into the sky during the weekend, prompting the evacuation of 123 people from the 
surrounding area. Activity died down and there is now a much smaller ash cloud  but national emergency office 
ONEMI said the situation remained critical.
The cone of pyroclastic material, essentially molten rock, had built up and now jutted above the crater, extending 
the height of Llaima to 10,630 feet (3,240 meters) above sea level from around 10,397 feet (3,169 meters) 
previously. "It would be much better if the crater were unobstructed, so it can release energy gradually and slowly." 
The volcano's eruptive activity is very erratic and could quickly surge.
