This iconic photo was taken in 1985 in Armero, Colombia by Frank Fournier of the Contact Press Images. The subject is a thirteen-year-old girl named Omayra Sánchez who was trapped under the debris, rubble, and water after the Nevada del Ruiz volcano erupted and destroyed her town. Omayra was trapped for three days before she died. Rescue workers were unable to save her because her legs were pinned to a point that nothing could be done. Frank took the picture in the last day if not hours of her life. This photo caused major controversy because when it was published, Omayra had already died and because it showed how the Colombian government failed to aid and warn its citizens of the eruption. The government had known previously that an eruption was possible and did not warn the citizens or evacuate them.
