Reventador (3562m) is a rarely documented andesitic stratovolcano located in a horse-shoe shaped caldera in the Amazonian highlands of Ecuador.
Its massive explosive eruption of 2002 which was accompanied by pyroclastic flows threatened nearby oil pipielines.
Presently, Reventador is again in an explosive phase, with powerful strombolian eruptions occuring from vents in the summit crater. This activity was documented from various viewpoints during day and night in early Dec. 2017. Ejection of copious lava bombs, ash clouds, small pyroclastic flows around the summit and volcanic lightning were all documented.
