Mike Mezeul II is an adrenaline addict. You need to be to pursue the kinds of dangerous, powerful, and beautiful shots he captures as an extreme nature photographer.

Where others see peril, Mike sees opportunity, so we joined him and a hardy crew on the shoulder of Volcán de Fuego in Guatemala. Will one of the world’s most active volcanoes put on a show? Brave the fire and find out.

A huge thank you to Mike for letting us follow him to Fuego and tell this story. It would not have been possible without the help of Diego Rizzo @diegorizzophoto and of course the incredible porters.
