		Chile's distinctive culture has survived the violence and repression of its recent history and is thriving once again thanks to a people noted for their warmth and resilience.
		Chile has spawned the Nobel Prize-winning poets Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda and, until the military coup of 1973, its cinema was among the most experimental in Latin America.
		Chile's politics were becoming increasingly militant, polarized and ideology-based when the Marxist Allende's leftist coalition of Socialists, Communists and extremists snuck to victory in 1970.

		Climate zonations of the country are pronounced with hot, dry conditions in the northern region, warm, humid conditions in the central region, and cool, windy conditions in the southern region.
		Its vegetation is typified by dry, subtropical desert shrubs or xerophytic shrubs in the high plateau of the northern region, sclerophyllous, broad-leaved deciduous forests in the central region, and by temperate, evergreen rain forest or subantarctic, broad-leaved deciduous forests and tundra in the southern region (Walter 1979).
		The moss flora Chile is characteristically south temperate, and differs notably from that of nearby neotropical countries where tropical and subtropical elements predominate.

	NFN - Stop the Alumysa Project
		Dramatically distinct visions of regional and hemispheric integration are clashing in the globally significant temperate rainforests and wild landscapes of the Southern Andes.
		The stated reason that NORANDA is interested in Chile is because of the tremendous potential for electricity generation in the water rich and steep terrain of the remote and pristine zone where the Andes meet the sea.
		The temperate forests of Southern Chile and Argentina are under attack from exotic species plantation forestry, human caused fires, unregulated livestock grazing, the damming of rivers, and the development of industrial mega-projects.

		It was wonderful to talk to you on the phone the other day from Chile Chico - really enjoyed having a chat - it is the only time in the last month that I've spoken to anyone (except Padraig in English and Daddy briefly on the phone was the time before that.
		We rode on through the mountains to reach Chile Chico; it was nice being up in the hills off the road, although it is a very quiet road.
		It was lovely riding with him; the dog enjoyed joining in herding the cows and he was a good companero, he cooked a wonderful assador the first day (some of our lamb and his beef) and a stew the next day and had an enormous fire blazing within minutes of stopping.

		Indeed, the closest Aisen province comes to a resident legend is the recycled tale of the "City of the Caesars" - - a forest-shrouded Shangri-La reputed to abound in golden furniture, silver farm implements and beautiful citizens.
		Originally thought to be located somewhere in the Gobi, the legend was dusted off and relocated to Chile by a pair of Spanish deserters, who wandered through the southern Chilean forests in 1650, and (perhaps in an effort to avoid punishment) claimed to have discovered the legendary city along the way.

		This month, citizens of the Aisen region in southern Chile are asking you to help them stop the construction of a huge aluminum processing plant that would destroy a rare temperate rainforest and pollute the region's pure air and water.
		Environmental organizations in Chile are working hard to protect the forests, but deforestation throughout the country continues at a record-setting pace: every hour an area the size of 21 football fields is destroyed.
		Many local communities like Aisen claim that they should be able to participate in these negotiations and reject industrial development if they believe it will benefit the companies at the expense of the local environment and community health.

		Noranda is expected to submit a second addendum to its EIS this November 2003 at which time the government of Chile will decide whether or not to grant the permits.

	Lucas Moxey - JUR Paper
		Phreatomagmatic eruptions, which are often characterized by violent explosions, can often produce large volumes of tephra that can be emplaced in a very short period of time (Shane, 2000).
		Tephra has been used successfully in the past as a regional stratigraphic marker, because it can be quickly transported thousands of kilometers from its source and can be deposited over a large area without undergoing chemical alteration (Newton and Metcalfe, 1999).
		Ancient tephras derived from Mt. Hudson should be found at Perito Moreno, because it lies 170 km to the east and downwind of the volcano.
