Description : The aftermath of a catestrophic volcanic eruption. The ?Tungurahua?, an active volcano, in the ?Cordillera Central? (a chain of mountains, in the Andes) of Ecuador, erupted on 4th and 6th 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 volcano?s feet. Tungarahua Province, Ecuador.
