Hotel Pucón with Villarrica Volcano, Chile
Additional Details:
A view of the Hotel Pucón on Lake Villarrica, with its reflections in the water and a pier. The Villarrica Volcano is visible in the background, actively emitting smoke. The accompanying text notes a major eruption occurred about a year prior to the postcard's date (January 13, 1951), causing damage and deaths, as lava melted snow and ice, resulting in a 30-foot deep water rush. The local beach is composed of clean black volcanic sand. |
