Reventador, Active stratovolcano in the eastern Andes, Ecuador.

Reventador rises to an elevation of 3,562 meters within a dense forest, featuring a large caldera measuring 4 kilometers across with an unvegetated cone inside.

The volcano has maintained continuous activity since its first documented eruption in 1541, with over 25 recorded eruptions throughout its monitored history.

Indigenous communities near the volcano utilize the nutrient-rich volcanic soil for traditional agricultural practices, adapting their lifestyle to the geological environment.

Regular monitoring stations track volcanic activity, providing essential data for local authorities to implement safety measures and issue warnings when necessary.

The volcanic crater produces frequent ash emissions rising up to two kilometers, along with periods of intense crater glow and avalanches of heated blocks.
