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.

[@captaindaddy8645]

earth is bussin. everyone needs a release

[@African_Curious_Minds]

[@timothey94]

I Iove volcanos so much. A reminder that we are on an active living planet 😍

[@antoniob1905]

I saw this erupt in January from Fuego Ridge. One of the coolest experiences of my life. I'm hooked!

[@mikeyraad568]

The timing of this eruption was incredible! Huge thank you to you guys for this. I'm so grateful 🙏

[@debrakleid5752]

Incredible. Kilauea just went off here and we have a lot of vog but with my lungs I can’t go outside. Beautiful though

[@GrillerGT]

I’m a Guatemalan living in Germany... I knew these volcano views looked familiar xD How nostalgic...

[@kasunrandeepa5511]

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

[@eric.9to5]

visiting the place was magical! love guatemala

[@BeastOfTraal]

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

[@alvinshrm]

What a shot! Absolutely amazing. Bula from Fiji

[@northislandguy]

[@AbhinavSingh-o1b]

One of most beautiful thing to see

[@ZEWNATURY]

Amazing crew! I feel your emotions 😃

[@seanj3667]

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.

[@maestrisima8]

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

[@CHANDANSINGH-qd8vc]

do u feel the heat nearby?

[@moonceiling1978]

Adventures at his peak.

[@thomasanders1314]

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

[@jessicakors3577]

That was sooo scary and satisfying

[@bevgordon7619]

Where are their marshmallows?

[@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.

[@ONLYFEJMZZZ]

HOLY SHIT WHAT A SHOT :D

[@GabrielMateo-rb8mf]

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

[@justbeingfrank4u]

Awesome video, wow.

[@DavidUrban-y3c]

Erupting volcanoes are the most interesting natural phenomenon I've ever seen on RUclips. Thanks for posting this.

[@Milkshake-x6z]

That looks HORRIFYING😭😭

[@ThatOpalGuy]

this video is BOMB!

[@YancySmithTurboRexPerformance]

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

[@caralibc8z]

I missed philippines 🇵🇭 😔 😢 I use to live there😢 But now I'm England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 😔 😢😢

[@cmecre8629]

[@elizabethsuarez5872]

Wao impresionante

[@Pamela-pi1nm]

This is great

[@DasE30Cuz]

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.

[@prabaharanr8039]

Subhan Allah. Praise God.

[@sn4401]

esses vulcões vão expelir ouro e diamantes de várias cores se Deus quiser😊😊😊

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

[@ccalvinn]

They really gave us that 😩😩😫😫😫😩

[@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.

[@lostinchineseroom]

the narration is so good

[@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

[@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. 🤦‍♂

[@cjyoung7372]

Ruined bye the narration

[@dforrest4503]

There’s this thing called ‘mute’. Cool concept, you should try it.
