The image is a black and white photograph of a large plume of smoke rising from the ground. The smoke is thick and billowing up into the sky. The sky is overcast and the ground is covered in rocks and debris. In the foreground, there are a group of people sitting on a rocky hill, looking up at the smoke. The people appear to be soldiers or soldiers, and they are wearing helmets and carrying rifles. The image appears to be from the early 20th century.
