ECUADOR-ERUPCION-VOLCAN
Local residents go through the devastated landscape of their village nearby Tungurahua volcano 18 August, 2006 in Palictahua, Ecuador. The volcano erupted Thursday, killing at least five people, injuring 13 and burying five villages in lava and hot ash, local authorities said. President Alfredo Palacio declared a state of emergency in the four affected provinces before heading to Penipe, at the foot of the active Tungurahua volcano, accompanied by several ministers. The sky around Tungurahua, located 135 kilometers (83 miles) south of Quito, was thick with ash, blocking access by helicopter or plane. Geophysicists said it was the volcano's biggest eruption in seven years. AFP PHOTO/Rodrigo BUENDIA
