If science fairs and "Lord of the Rings" movies have taught us anything, it's that you should probably stay away from erupting volcanos. That's not what these brave hikers did though as they journeyed along Volcan Acatenango in Guatemala, getting some absolutely gorgeous footage during their trip. There was no real danger, but the volcano did erupt during their entire adventure.
