Mexico: Paracutin Volcano


On February 20, 1943, a volcano rose from flat Mexican fields around Paricutin, changing the landscape in just a few days.

Le 20 février 1943 un volcan surgit de champs mexicains autour de Paricutín, qui jusque-là avaient été plats, changeant totalement le paysage. 




    
    In June 1943, only a few months later, the volcano’s lava had covered evacuated           Paricutin totally, leaving only the church’s tower visible, as a reminder of where the       village once stood.

     En juin 1943, à peine quelques mois plus tard, la lave du volcan avait recouvert        totalement Paricutín, évacué a temps. Il avait épargné seulement la tour de                l’église, comme  pour rappeler ou s’était trouvé autrefois le village anéanti.
