The document provides photos and descriptions from a memorial site that commemorates a tragedy. Photos show the mountain Huascaran in the distance, boulders pushed down from the mountain, a mangled school bus, memorial crosses and roses for victims, the top of an old church and bank building, grazing sheep, and a cemetery on a hill where some adults survived. The document offers glimpses into how the memorial site remembers and pays tribute to the events of a tragedy through landscape, structures, and monuments.
