STUNNING Drone Video of ICELAND VOLCANO Eruption | 4K DJI FPV - YouTube 

Some good shots of the volcano - get a really good sense of the scale of the current vent versus the earlier ones.

I think it might make it to the sea..
There seems to be a more steady flow now, rather than eruptive?.

I suspect it will if it lasts long enough although it's not making much headway through the valley at the moment, just getting deeper where the 2 feeds are flowing in.

Hopefully that link works - it's a 'darwin award' contestant strolling around on the lava towards the vent.

Seems like a burst pipe the last hour or two.

Watching the live cams and play backs, I've noticed that the lava tends to roll down into the valley in short, aggressive bursts rather than just a continuous stream like manner, almost as if has to 'build up' first on the plateau before it unleashes itself. 

---

What I don't understand is how the lava can stay so hot and red after so many days exiting the volcano, even in those cool/cold Icelandic winds. Clearly I don't know anything about how lava works but it is just fascinating to me how it can retain such incredible heat for so long after being exposed to the open air. 

---

It is fascinating and I think, to answer your question, the lava is insulated to a large extent by the solidifying stuff above it and then it largely flow underneath it in tubes or rivers only breaking out in red hot form when it gets moved to the surface at the edges or steep gradients.

Makes sense! 

Really incredible how 'insidious' this lava flow is. Rarely do you see it move forth (even in time lapse footage) yet very surely, it is creeping ever so slowly forward to destroy all in its path.

Footage from the edge of the lava flow in the valley today. (a good channel to follow for near daily close up footage)

Has cooled down some but still some hot spots to be found.

Wow, great animation. Always wondered how close to the first eruption this current volcano formed.

Volcano has gone very quiet over the last couple of days. Either it is going to go into rest mode for while or it is just clearing its throat to make way for something bigger.

This steam has sound. The boomy roars of the volcano are unnerving, even from this great distance.

Askja has been inflating since August with current inflation around 7cm.

A potentially significant volcano should it erupt.

I see that the Cumbre Vieja region of La Palma is showing heightened signs of unrest in the last few days with hundreds of small quakes. The status of the volcano has been raised to yellow as it is suggested the quakes are associated with the movement of magma. It may well just be a period of unrest rather than a sign of an upcoming eruption but it is worth watching.
