Description:
Many lost their homes in the volcanic eruption in Tungarahua Province, Ecuador. August 17, 2006. The Tungurahua, an active volcano, in the Cordillera Central (a chain of mountains, in the Andes) of Ecuador, erupted on July 14th and August 16th of 2006, devastating life in the small towns on its slope and surroundings. A river of fire was formed by over 10 million cubic meters of ash, gravel and incandescent material. More than 3000 people were evacuated from the area with six casualties and around 60 missing. With the alarm of another eruption ahead, the residents enter the emergency zone to work and take care of their homes. By nightfall they return to rest at the volcanos feet.
