Tungurahua Erupts
Volcano Tungurahua erupted spectacularly last year. Pictured above,
molten rock so hot it glows visibly pours down the sides of the
5,000-meter high Tungurahua, while a cloud of dark ash is seen being
ejected toward the left. Wispy white clouds flow around the lava-lit
peak, while a star-lit sky shines in the distance. The above image was
captured last year as ash fell around the adventurous photographer.
Located in Ecuador, Tungurahua has become active roughly every 90
years since for the last 1,300 years. Volcano Tungurahua has started
erupting again this year and continues erupting at a lower lever even today.
