The dead armadillo near the dead forest.


This forest once lined the banks of the Rio IbaƱez. Following the huge eruption of Volcano Hudson (VE5) in 1991 and the rapid mobilisation of abundant fluvio-glacial sediment combined with ash fallout, the trees died but remained standing in skeletal form.


The eruption contributed towards global cooling in 1993 & 1994 and realeased enough ozone depleting gasses to have had a significant effect on the thinning of the ozone layer.
