I was lucky to climb Acatenango volcano in Guatemala. Early in the morning we went to Fuego to watch the sunrise. Amazing experience. Visit Guatemala!

❤ I found it hard to take this video seriously because of the OTT narator. Visuals stunning. Subject matter potentiall dramatic but come on, drama where drama's due eh?

[robertshepherd]

This is nothing compared to drone videos from Iceland. Have you seen the one where the drone gets swiped by lava and struggles back to the pilot?

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

I’m original from Guatemala 🇬🇹. I live in Canada 🇨🇦 now

The Moon IO around Jupiter. Most volcanic place in the Solar System.

Interesting, it would be good to know what series this was from.

The “original music score” borrowing heavily from massive attack

Strange they would not use a dji Inspire drone, as that big one had bad stability issues up there. Duncan must be the twin brother to Luke, from the Cars with Luke channel. More hair, same voice….

[samgriggs]

The voice of narrator is terrible. It is so distracting.

[Toxicflu]

Aren't there volcanoes erupting every day worldwide. Couldn't they just fly to an already erupting one instead of waiting?

Please get a differnt narrator. This half whispering guy is just simply awful to listen to. I just watched with sound off.

[ZeRdaRkSaiyan]

PLEASE!!!! THIS NARRATOR!!!! it's by FAR the WORST narrator you have ever utilised in any of your docu's.
