In this May 6, 2013 photo, a young tourist stands on stairs protruding from the rubble of homes in Epecuen, which once was submerged in water in Argentina. When a particularly heavy rainstorm followed a series of wet winters, the lake overflowed its banks on Nov. 10, 1985. Water burst through a retaining wall and submerged the lakeside streets. People fled with what they could, but a few days later, their homes were drowned under nearly 10 meters (33 feet) of corrosive saltwater. (AP Photo/Natacha Pisarenko)
