A view of the village of Santa Barbara, the place where the new Chaiten town will be built, located some 1,220 km (758 miles) south of Santiago February 27, 2009. Chile says it has found a new home for the 7,000 residents of Chaiten, the town in the verdant South that turned white with ash last year after a volcano dormant for thousands of years exploded back to life. Authorities said municipal buildings could be ready to start functioning within up to three months, but could not say when the new town will be up and running. REUTERS/Victor Ruiz Caballero (CHILE)
