flights are still being canceled because of ash clouds in australia. flying to and from adelaide and tasmania. virgin australia have now restarted some of their services. let's check in on the ash cloud and see how far it is spreading and if it's going to get any better or worse for poor travelers in that region. jen, what's the deal. >> hey, zaine. it's bad when you have one volcano erupting but two sounds unbelievable. we're going to start off right now taking about the volcano in chile causing all those problems. and here's the ash advisory. this is going to go for the next six hours, 1800 gmt. anywhere in red, all the way over the ocean. you're going to go south of australia, and then you're going to cover parts of new zealand. but you're not done there yet. this actually covers 20,000 kilometer area, roughly 12,000 miles. and then gets to the coast of antarctica. you can see how widespread this is and why we're dealing with so many cancellations. winds right at 30,000 feet. this is the area winds fly in. they'll be out of the west, strong and stay

pedram, this ash cloud has been going on for quite a while.here is it headed next and is it going to cause further travel disruption? >> the ash cloud was minding its business, second trip around the globe, well south of areas, around portions of the antarctic sea. notice the circulation right here, the storm system as the ash cloud was moving south of this feature, it got caught up in the circulation and the storm caused a mess across portions of australia in the past 24 hours, trees down tasmania and brought in ashes and it will take this a couple of days i think not until thursday are we going to see things move out of the path where they've seen some problems. i want to show you an image a couple of weeks ago, the ash plume and sulfur dioxide. we go from tuesday initially on sunday when we had the eruption a couple of sundays ago. notice three, four, five days later it gets out there, south of areas within australia, so this ash cloud we're seeing right now in that part of the world is associated with an eruption that we saw last thursday,

they're flying below the ash.he concentration, chafrls, not as significant as it was with the iceland volcano. iceland, very close to europe as opposed to this flum that erupted from the valg that had to travel 9,000 kilometers around the planet. so, sure, the concentration is not going to be as heavy. the ash is not as heavy, so there's no danger of it falling to the ground. it stays suspended in the upper atmosphere. we have the westerlies that are screaming. there are undulations here but generally it's a west-to-east movement and that's why we were able to transport the ash from chile over 9,000 kilometers to the east over toward australia and new zealand. this is the latest advisory. again, this is where aircraft are advised it could be dangerous. it's up to the carriers themselves to decide what to do here. that's where qantas is flying. this is the largest ash advisory i've ever seen. it goes around the globe. of course, it doesn't go this way because by then concentrations are low enough that it shouldn't

basically the ash cloud is sitting above buenos aires. we woke up friday morning with a very fine film of cash sitting on cars. it is a minor inconvenience to the people of buenos aires, but huge chaos for travelers, and really no end in sight. the flights are dictated by what that meteorologists say. >> what are they saying? do they believe it is now traveling out toward the atlantic? >> some flights have resumed in the last few hours. there is no telling when the wind direction might change or when the dust cloud might come back. there is really no end in sight. with the transport minister here in argentina has said is that they are taking precautions. the volcanic ash is very abrasive and can cause problems to flights. they aren't taking precautionary measures -- they are taking precautionary measures until the ash cloud has completely lost the area -- has completely left the area. >> recent heavy rain in chile has caused another problem of landslides, so many people are being evacuated from their homes. >> it just adds to the chaos. t

we are still dealing with the ash so with the winds coming in it's going to continue to push that ash over to the east. as i show you on the satellite imagery you can see how it spread over to areas including buenos aires yesterday and that's why we had those delays. so when you're dealing with volcanic ash like this, really just can't get too upset because it's all up to mother nature. winds will continue to come out of the west. we'll see the winds roughly around 70 will be very strong in the upper level so that's going to have the potential to carry it pretty far away and of course we talked about those delays through areas including australia as well as new zealand yesterday and that potential to go that far away is going to be very likely again today. now as for the volcano in nabro, we're not seeing any more ash but we are still seeing some of that being admitted there. the advisory area for the volcano, we're talking about over to the west. yesterday we had it up to the middle east. we're seeing some improvement there. now finally i leave you with some video out of the u.s. thi
