About the time in Chaitén
Around 3,347 people live in Chaitén, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 07:35 and sunset at 06:12 local time, giving 10h 37m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-42.92, -72.71) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Chaitén.
Chaitén sits at latitude -42.92, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 10h 37m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
