I’m a Guatemalan living in Canada 🇨🇦. I’ve witnessed the eruption of Pacaya Volcano back in 1998 it was so scary but magnificent at the same time

[@mariarohmer2374]

Yes, that's how I imagine it would feel. I would still love to witness one before I die.

[@kasunrandeepa5511]

Mother Nature is amazing, beautiful and feisty at the same time.

[@mikeyraad568]

Natural and beautiful fireworks display! One of nature's best displays of power!

[@alvinshrm]

What a shot! Absolutely amazing. Bula from Fiji

[@maestrisima8]

Beautiful images. I grew up looking at Fuego volcanoes as my backyard view!

[@yousrisri]

The lightnings in the background made the footage even more beautiful 😍

[@requiem762]

The ash ejected from volcanoes can carry a significant static charge, resulting in some truly spectacular lightning displays as it explodes outward.
If Roman mythology is to be believed, such displays are the forge-god Vulcan - the namesake of the island of Vulcano, which is in turn the namesake of ALL volcanoes - test firing the thunderbolts he forges for Jupiter.

Those drones must have some kind of range to operate from a safe distance away.

[@bobrobertsNotUrBob]

watch "29,000 Feet Up Mount Everest with DJI Mavic 3 Pro" it'll blow your mind

For fellow Americans, 100 meters per second = 224 MPH

[@kerryguerin2542]

Can anyone tell me why Americans can't convert to a simpler system?

[@Xplicit_fpv]

Ty

[@masamune..]

​@@kerryguerin2542I use both systems. And both have their merits.
My question to you? Why did you take a standoffish position?

[@PZantanKilla]

How many second per usain bolt?

[@toobadhoney6282]

@@masamune.. I’m metric; I can picture 100m/s pretty easily but can’t do 224mph; if you’re native to the imperial system, can you imagine 224mph? Genuine question.

[@thomasanders1314]

Volcano explosion as a drama of beginning and end directed by Nature.:)

[@lostinchineseroom]

the narration is so good

[@GabrielMateo-rb8mf]

I think this video can be more realistics with the video in a unprrossed audio.

[@rohit_brr]

What is that audio when the volcano blows up the first time😂.

[@ccalvinn]

They really gave us that 😩😩😫😫😫😩

[@giokun100]

Amazing filming, watch with the sound off and subtitles on to avoid the annoying portentous VO.

Were they watching it live through the screen instead of with their own eyes? What were they looking down at near the end? The volcano is higher than where they're camped. So many questions.

[@justbeingfrank4u]

[@bevgordon7619]

Where are their marshmallows?

[@YancySmithTurboRexPerformance]

Why not just build a sacrificial drone with the pan/tilt gear and land it on the rim.

[@Svedge]

Precision drone? You mean a professional cinematic drone? Aren't journalists supposed to do research in the topic anymore? As a certified drone pilot, this is the first time I hear anyone say precision drone. 🤦‍♂

[@Milkshake-x6z]

That looks HORRIFYING😭😭

[@michaelt3885]

If you read in the books of John, Romans and Ephesians you will see in John 3:16, 3:36, 4:16, Romans 10:9-13, Ephesians 2:8-9 you will see that Faith in Jesus will lead you to salvation.

Canny job.

Volcanoes are just earth pimples

[@lamarw7757]

There's nothing precision about this drone flying. Any amateur can do it.

[@zionthedon7745]

"Precision drone" is what it says. It doesn't say precision flying or precise maneuvers. Just the type of drone

[@MarcusHelius]

That voice over is unbearable.
