The long exposure is the result of a timelapse sequence. On this November 2019 night, I recorded an average of 10 explosions per hour, with incandescent ejecta rising several hundred meters above the summit. Located only 11 miles (18k) from the World Heritage city of Antigua, it has been continuously active since a catastrophic eruption on June 3, 2018, which affected almost two million people, including hundreds of fatalities in the nearby villages. Many bodies are still missing. ⁣ ⁣According to the U.S. Geological Survey, on that day instead of slow-moving lava, Fuego erupted with a mix of ash, rock, and volcanic gases—a rapid pyroclastic flow that surprised the villagers who were used to frequent minor eruptions. The flows raced down at speeds as high as 450 miles an hour, engulfing whole villages at the bottom. A similar event was responsible for wiping out Pompeii, in Italy, about 2,000 years ago. ⁣ #twanight #volcano #guatemala #longexposure」5月24日 7時36分
