Lava River - Eyjafjallajökull Eruption
Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland
I could not wait going out again photographing the volcanic Eruption in Eyjafjallajökull glacier. The weather has been really bad here in Iceland for the last few days. Today it finally was good with clear skies so off I went with a few friends and family.
The eruption is technically not in the Eyjafjallajökull Glacier but in a col between it and the next glacier, Mýrdalsjökull.
Mýrdalsjökull glacier is Eyjafjallajökull glacier bigger brother, both in terms of size of the glacier and also in terms of capability and size of its eruptions. Under the bigger brother lies the powerful and dangerous Katla caldera. It erupts every 60-80 years. Now it been more than 90 years since its last eruption so it will likely go off in near future, specially when it smaller brother wakes up which historically has always triggered the bigger brother to show its dominance.
