Yungay, Peru: This aerial photo shows the thick layer of mud and rock that covers the city of Yungay 6/3 after the landslides and floods that followed a violent earthquake 5/31. A religious moment on a low hill (circled) protrudes from the river of mud. Dark splotches are shadows of clouds. A patchwork of fields surrounds the area.
