Children pick up peanuts as ash continues to spew out of the San Cristobal volcano (background), at Chinandega city, some 150 km (93 miles) north of the capital Managua December 26, 2012. The 5,725-foot (1,745-meter) San Cristobal volcano, one of the tallest in Nicaragua, has belched an ash cloud hundreds of meters into the sky in the latest bout of sporadic activity, prompting the evacuation of nearby residents, the government said on Wednesday.
