A severe landslide has nearly obliterated the Valley of Geysers, officials and environmental activists said Monday. The landslide dumped millions of cubic meters of mud and stones and destroyed most of the valley's geysers and dozens of thermal springs stopping meters away from the valley's only hotel, a park ranger said. Tourists and park personnel had to be evacuated, but no injuries were reported.(AP Photo/Roman Denisov, File)
