More than 200 tourists rescued from cars after massive snowstorm buries road in Argentina
- More than 200 people have been rescued from a 4,500 metre-high volcano viewpoint in Argentina after becoming trapped in a powerful snowstorm.
- Footage circulating on social media shows a column of trucks stopped in their tracks and buried in snow, with only the roofs and parts of the windshields still visible.
- As the storm intensified, the tourists sought refuge inside their vehicles - but the weather conditions turned more and more “challenging” by the hour, delaying the rescue operation from Balcon del Pissis, in the Catamarca Province.
