El Reventador Volcano in Ecuador erupted during the day on August 27, 2026, sending molten boulders tumbling down the steep side of the volcano.
Some of the glowing volcanic blocks appear to be car-sized, breaking loose after the eruption and rolling down the slopes in a dramatic display of the volcano’s power. El Reventador is one of Ecuador’s most active volcanoes, known for frequent Strombolian eruptions, ash plumes, lava glow, and incandescent rockfalls.
This footage shows why AfarTV is building a permanent 24/7 4K livestream camera near El Reventador. The camera site is only about 4 km from the erupting cone, making it AfarTV’s closest live volcano camera yet. From this distance, viewers should be able to see eruptions, ash bursts, lava activity, and rockfalls in remarkable detail — and may even be able to hear rocks falling down the slopes.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the El Reventador camera fundraiser so far. Your donations and shares have already helped us purchase most of the essential gear needed for the installation. We are now working to cover the remaining costs of making the camera reliable in this remote location, including extra hardware, an upgraded Starlink dish, transport, installation, weatherproofing, and local support.

The site is about 7 km up a rough 4x4 jungle road in the Amazon region, with no grid power or wired internet. The system will need to run 100% off-grid using solar power, batteries, and Starlink.
Once completed, this will be the world’s first 24/7 4K livestream of El Reventador, one of Ecuador’s most active volcanoes.
A huge thank you to Hostería El Reventador for hosting the camera and helping make this project possible:
