Ladies and gentlemen, the irrepressible Fuego.
Fuego never disappoints and always thrills.
1000 years and running... Mt. Fuego!
We literally spent the night of 8th of March up in the base camp and it was sleeping soundly with one puff of smoke. Wow we were lucky
Now THAT'S a volcanic eruption!
Volcanoes are SO beautiful!
@SysterYster why u don't want to be near one volcano 🌋? It's even more beautiful up close
that shock wave was amazing....what a beautiful volcano
I climbed Fuego in '79 ended up spending the night on it , almost died several times
wow….thats some eruption …..spectacular
Now that is a stratovolcano!
It’s like a Christmas tree,in the middle of the night ,so threatening and so beautiful at the same time !
Very beautiful and I love the stars in the background
It's romantic with someway
That shockwave was sudden😧
Wow beautiful 🌋❤️🔥🇬🇹
I got out the night before and we were waiting to erupt but it has only fumes coming out of it that night, watched Fuego all nightlong but nothing happened .. and we left on Sunday morning. Dang, what a lucky people to watch this.
This is the best I've seen it, I love this volcano
So for the shockwave to reach the camera is 23 seconds which means the camera is about 4.3 miles away from the volcano
@dustercat21 oh your gooood
I calculated from the time the blast appeared (2:12) to the time the shockwave hit (2:39) giving me 27 seconds. At roughly 1100 ft/s (this will change with air temp but is close) giving me 28,700 feet or 5.625 miles. Regardless, pretty cools stuff!
How much km is that ?
@perenoel582 roughly 9 km
@perenoel582 roughly 9 km

Wow.
I guess you can see it from Guatemala City? My dad was there and took a photo.
AMEN🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
2:37 shockwave
Thank you! 🙏🏻
did you see the lava
That was big eruption, I am curious that there were night hikers on Fuego around midnight, anyone injured from time of Eruption?
Was anyone hurt? I hiked over to Fuego just last year from Acatenango (where this looks like it was filmed from). But, if we were standing where our group was when we hiked to Fuego and this happened... it would not have been a happy day.
The camera is about 8km from the volcano at a resort that has rental cabins. It's always filming. You can watch the livestream at Afar TV
How is it erupting if it did In the time of Rome
Fuego has been erupting for a very long time.Just had a 2.month break and woke up again today
My daughter is at a resort with a similar view, should they be evacuating? I see no updates on a mass evacuation of the area
OH SHIT 2:38
Stunning
😮
