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?.

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.

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.

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)

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.

Indeed which one might expand into considerable hyperbole if one was inclined. But you never know...

Seemingly an eruption has now started.

Unfortunately it looks like there are houses in the path of the lava flow.

Yes, I think so. The landscape and quantity of solidified lava suggest it is the ongoing Icelandic eruption. There are a few live streams of the new event in La Palma and it is impressive.

The only live stream I've seen is the one i linked above but it isn't that impressive, and of course the need feed linked above.
