Rocks and hot volcanic material tumble down the steep slopes of El Reventador Volcano in Ecuador after an explosive eruption.
El Reventador is one of Ecuador’s most active volcanoes, known for frequent Strombolian-style eruptions, explosions, ash emissions, and glowing material descending its flanks. This video captures the raw power of the volcano as debris breaks loose and rolls down the cone following an eruption.
AfarTV is now working on its most ambitious volcano camera project yet: a 24/7 4K livestream from the slopes of El Reventador itself.
The new camera site will be only 3.5 km from the erupting cone — the closest camera AfarTV has ever placed to an active, erupting volcano. From this location, viewers should be able to see frequent eruptions in incredible detail and may even hear rocks tumbling down the slopes after explosions.
This installation is extremely challenging. The site is located about 7 km up a rough 4x4 jungle road through the Amazon rainforest and will operate completely off-grid using solar panels, battery storage, and Starlink internet.
Funds raised will help cover the solar power system, batteries, Starlink setup, mounting hardware, weatherproof equipment, transportation, installation, and initial maintenance.
By supporting this campaign, you can help bring El Reventador live to the world — 24/7, in 4K, from the slopes of the volcano itself.
