Some of the most beautiful sights in nature are ones we should only admire from a distance. This volcano in Hawaii, Kilauea, is a great example. Then there is Mount Dukono, located in Indonesia. It is known for being one of the country’s most active volcanoes. As a result, locals and visitors alike love to appreciate the spectacular views it provides. That said, few people have both witnessed and recorded a view quite like this one.

It all started when some visitors to Indonesia chose to go on a hike. But this hike was certainly not for beginners. To get anywhere near Mount Dukono, hikers must traverse rather steep and uneven terrain. So, being able to reach the summit truly is an accomplishment. But for these hikers, the excitement of reaching the top only increased the moment the nearby volcano erupted. Witness this amazing volcano erupting in the video below!
