Armero has disappeared  from the map

1.What was causing to melt ice?

The crater of Nevado Del Ruiz, a snowcapped volcanic peak on the northeast side, exploded, releasing a considerable amount of volcanic ash, and the great heat from the crater caused the snowcap or ice covering to melt.

Members of the emergency committee reassured residents of Armero that there was no need to be concerned, and recommended them to be cool and use a damp handkerchief indoors.

3.What made it so difficult to save the persons trapped in the quagmire?
