Yungay Avalanche and Regional Destruction

On May 31, 1970, one of the most devastating disasters in Peruvian history occurred. 

A magnitude 7.9 earthquake hit just off the coast of Peru, creating the most catastrophic natural disaster in the country's history.  

The “Ancash” or “Great Peruvian Earthquake” not only caused disastrous short-term loss of life, but also had long-term impacts that shaped multiple spheres of Peruvian life for years to come. 

Learn about the Ancash Earthquake and its devastating impact on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
