Guatemala’s transformation by volcanic ash, in one photo
A massive volcanic eruption in Guatemala has killed at least 62 people, according to the latest reports. As the death toll keeps rising, rescuers are working to locate missing people. Some have been buried in landslides or stranded in remote villages.
