Changbaishan -Tianchi volcano erupted in 946 CE and triggered a massive flood from the lake atop the volcano's summit.

Evidence of the flood can still be seen in the form of boulders and smaller rocks that washed down from the upper reaches of the volcano.

Understanding ancient floods may help vulnerable populations prepare for future natural disasters.
