A beautiful nighttime eruption at Volcán de Fuego in Guatemala breaks through the clouds on August 27, 2026.
The volcano is partially hidden by passing clouds when a powerful eruption suddenly becomes visible, sending ash and volcanic gases above the summit. At night, the darkness and shifting cloud cover make the eruption especially dramatic as Fuego briefly emerges from the clouds before disappearing again.
Fuego is one of Central America's most persistently active volcanoes and regularly produces explosive eruptions from its summit crater.

Here’s their website: https://sancayetano.gt/. The camera is about 8km away from the top of Fuego. Sometimes you'll be able to hear the eruptions.
