Maybe this much...?
Latin America is more used to volcanic activity than Europe is. Something's always erupting somewhere between Mexico and Tierra del Fuego, usually Popecatepetl in Mexico which seems always to be up to something.
This time it's Puyehue-Cordon Caulle in Chile, and the cloud is drifting east messing up aviation in much of Argentina. But at least you can see where the plume is. Mathematical models not needed right now!
The Daily Mail online has assembled a series of amazing images showing just how dramatic this has been, on the ground and in the air.
Buenos Aires Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC) has plenty to report, but I wish they'd provide graphics instead of Lat/Long coordinates you have to plot yourself.

Looks like a real plane in the ash!
