The Fagradalsfjall Volcano began erupting in March 2021. Eventually, the lava reached the Nátthagi valley. Watching the leading edge of the lava was so mesmerizing! #Iceland #IcelandTrip #IcelandAdventure #IcelandTravel #IcelandVolcano #Fagradalsfjall #Volcano #FlowingLava

*Bonus Post*
Today marks the five year anniversary of the first volcanic eruption on Reykjanes after weeks of earthquakes. I was blessed to hike to that eruption just a week after it began. *Video shot 2021* #Iceland #IcelandAdventure #IcelandTrip #IcelandVolcano #2021Eruption

Lava is flowing from a 2-mile fissure near Sundhnúkur after a quake swarm. Magma had been building underground for weeks.

📷 from Iceland's Civil Protection Department

Statement from the Icelandic Met Office:
www.vedur.is/um-vi/fretti...

The image depicts an aerial view of an active volcanic eruption. A stream of vivid orange lava flows diagonally from the upper center to the lower left, cutting through a predominantly dark landscape. The lava emits bright light and heat, contrasting sharply with the dark, rugged terrain surrounding it. Thick white smoke rises from the eruption site, drifting to the right against a light grey sky. The foreground shows a partially visible black frame of a helicopter or aircraft window, indicating the photo was taken from the air.

The image depicts a scene of vibrant orange-red flames emanating from the surface of what appears to be molten lava. The intense glow from the flames contrasts starkly with the darker, almost blackened surroundings. The surface shows swirling patterns, indicating movement and the fluid nature of the lava. The scene is partially obscured by swirling smoke or steam rising from the hot surface, adding a hazy overlay to parts of the image.
