Description: "Nevado del Ruiz" (El Ruiz snow peak). Part of Los Nevados National Park. This picture was taken on December 27, 2006 at around 6:30 pm local time, from Manizales. 20 years ago, snow used to cover the mountain peak and the "La Olleta" volcano. The top left of the mountain is showing signs of activity coming from the Arenas crater, which points to the other side (eastward) of Los Andes mountain range. This crater exploded in 1985, causing a lahar that buried the 25.000-people city of Armero in the middle of the night. Still, the Nevado del Ruiz remains one of the most beautiful natural attractions, not only in Manizales, but Colombia.
