Back in the 1920s, the lakeside town of Epecuén in Argentina was a tourist hot spot. People came from all over the country to enjoy its lake’s revitalizing waters.
Sadly, in 1985, a seiche (standing wave) flooded the town and broke a nearby dam protecting it. The tides began to rise, and the town was submerged at the bottom of the lake.
Although residents had enough time to escape the flooding, it was completely devastating and people lost everything.
Nearly 25 years later, the water receded, and parts of the town were still present. French photographer Romain Veillon paid the ruins of Epecuén a visit and snapped some amazing photos of what’s left.
Here once stood the proud resort town of Epecuén in Argentina.
In 1985, a freak weather event known as a seiche (standing wave) flooded the town. That’s when things began to turn ugly for Epecuén.
The seiche damaged a nearby dam protecting the town, and caused the tides to rise.
The flooding became so bad that the residents had to evacuate before the town was completely submerged.
Strange to think this used to be full of life…………
