Volcano Menaces
Guatemala Town
A young Guatemalan boy rides his bicycle across
a cobblestone street last Wednesday as ash,
smoke and fire erupt behind him from a volcano
near Antigua City. The volcano is just southwest
of Guatemala City. The town, founded in 1527,
was almost completely destroyed by a violent
volcanic eruption in 1541, leaving only the facade
of its cathedral standing. It was rebuilt on a safer
site nearby and was partially destroyed again by
another eruption.
