Explanation:
The view was worth the trip.
Battling
high winds,
cold temperatures, and
low oxygen, the
trek to
near the top of the volcano
Santa Maria in
Guatemala -- while carrying
sensitive camera equipment -- was lonely and difficult.
Once set up, though, the camera captured
this breathtaking vista during the early morning hours of February 28.
Visible on the ground are six volcanoes of the
Central America
Volcanic Arc, including
Fuego, the
Volcano of Fire, which is
seen erupting in the distance.
Visible in the sky, in separate exposures taken a few minutes later,
are many stars much further in the distance, as well as the
central band of our
Milky Way Galaxy situated
horizontally overhead.
