Eruption of Nevado del Ruiz in Colombia

A child floats in muddy water after being caught in a lahar as it flowed from the erupting Nevado del Ruiz volcano in Colombia. The 1985 eruption completely destroyed the town of Armero and killed approximately 23,000 people and 15,000 animals, primarily through these massive mud flows.
