The ‘end of the world’ swing in Banos, Ecuador, overlooking an erupting Mt. Tungurahua. Photo by Sean Hacker Teper, submitted recently to the National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest.
Sean says: “The eruption took place on February 1st, 2014. Minutes after the photo was taken, we had to evacuate the area because of an incoming ash cloud.”
