Power of Nature: Hikers Stunned As Volcano Spews Volcanic Debris
Volcanoes are one of the most fascinating and unpredictable natural wonders. We never know when they might erupt, which can make visiting the area near a volcano dangerous. During a volcanic eruption, hot lava and ash spew from deep inside and can cause major damage and injury if you get too close. While visiting Volcán de Fuego in Guatemala, Instagrammer Kaley Ekiyor caught the volcano erupting on video. As soon as it happened, she began to run as volcanic rock fell to the ground like rain. Luckily, she made it out relatively unscathed.

The Volcanic Eruption Was Intense
It’s not often that people get up close and personal with a volcanic eruption, and it’s pretty clear that Kaley wanted nothing to do with it. Seeing the video amazed viewers who expected a much more panicked reaction.
“As an internet volcanologist my recommendation is to not hike active volcanos. Any tour guide who offers to take you is a villain. Im happy she got a good laugh lucky it wasn’t an ugly cry. Dont do it,” someone wrote.
This person was surprised by Kaley’s camera work while trying to outrun a volcanic eruption. “Sure… Make sure you go pro film yourself dying just in case… That’s the most important part,” they wrote.
Of course, plenty of people hit the comment section to criticize Kaley’s choice to hike that close to a volcano.
“She realized nothing btw .. lava was already falling nearby long before she started running,” one person wrote.
This person agreed. “Look more people doing things they shouldn’t, like swim with sharks, crawl through caves, etc,” they added.
“You’re not supposed to get that close, is illegal. But anyway it must be fun!!” Another person pointed out.
