Aerial footage of Guatemala's Fuego volcano a week after it erupted shows its markedly changed landscape.

Jozef Stano, a videographer from Slovakia, captured the footage by drone flown at a height of 4,800 metres on June 10.

It shows how Fuego's landscape has been affected by the eruption, now shorn of vegetation reportedly caused by shock waves as well as hot rock and gasses emitted by the eruption.

Stano says he operated the drone from nearby Acatenango volcano.

“I was in Guatemala while big eruption occurred and I wanted to see how El Fuego looks like after that. I have been there a few times, it fascinates me how the volcano is changing all the time. I had to go there even if nobody went there because of curiosity.

“I’m in Guatemala for the second time and as I like nature, so I go to the volcano Acatenango all the time. It is really nice to get so close to the active volcano and see all those colours.”

I am from Slovakia and I love traveling. I am in Guatemala second time and as I like nature and mountains so I go to the volcano Acatenango all the time. It is really nice place to get so close to active volcano and see aal those colors. For sure this is not last time what I am here as I would like to return and see how El Fuego is changing.
