Lake Yanahuani
Lake Yanahuin is situated in the central Peruvian Andes in the Pasco Region at an altitude of ca. 4,900 m.
The site made world headlines in 1971 when on March 18 a rock avalanche of 100,000 m fell from an outcrop of jointed limestone ca. 400 m above the lake, causing a wave of 30 m that destroyed the mining camp of Chungar on the shore and killed 200-600 miners.
