Reventador

Reventador is an active stratovolcano which lies in the eastern Andes of Ecuador. It lies in a remote area of the national park of the same name, which is Spanish for "exploder". Since 1541, it has erupted over 25 times, although its isolated location means that many of its eruptions have gone unreported.

The largest historical eruption occurred in 2002. During that eruption, the plume from the volcano reached a height of 17 kilometres and pyroclastic flows proceeded to 7 kilometres from the cone. On March 30, 2007, the mountain ejected ash to a height of about 3.2 kilometres. No injuries or damage were reported. Its most recent eruption began on 27 July 2008, and it has remained in continuing eruption status as of 15 October 2021.
