There was a relatively small eruption of the volcano Nevado del Ruiz (central Colombia) on November 13, 1985, but it released huge quantities of glacial ice and water, forming 4 extremely large mudflows, or lahars.

These powerful mudflows obliterated the small town of Armero, and part of the town of Chinchina, resulting on the deaths of more than 23,000 people. It is the worst natural disaster in Colombia's history.
