Look, there are few experiences in this world that are as terrifying as witnessing a volcano erupt. Consider enjoying your last hours on Earth if you can’t escape that situation. Fortunately, the Acatenango volcano in Guatemala was relatively benign in 2024, which enabled tourists to capture awe-inspiring videos such as this one. Oh, and yeah, look at the freaking lightning illuminating that pyroclastic flow from the inside! Holy smokes, that’s epic!
