Fagradalsfjall started erupting on the 19 March 2021.
Fortunately it is currently only threatening a road and Internet connection in the area and there is no imminent threat to live or villages.
The weather in Iceland is highly variable and on the day we planned to see the vulcano, the fog was so heavy you could not see it from a hill opposite. In the evening with the fog lifting we did follow a well established trail taking you to a hill with impressive views opposite the vulcano. The view was something out of the Lord of the Rings. Dark large lava fields with in the middle the vulcano erupting every 20 minutes or so surrounded by smoke. Seeing this around midnight at blue hour was particularly impressive with the dark oranges and reds.
it is thought that the eruption may continue for quite some time and if possible it is quite a sight to visit if you are in Iceland.
Beehive erupts from a 4 foot tall, smooth sided cone that reminded the early Washburn Expedition of 1870 of an old fashioned straw beehive, hence the name.
"Beehive Geyser is taller than Old Faithful and eruptions last about a minute longer than Old Faithful. While Old Faithful is beautiful, Beehive Geyser is arguably one of the prettiest geysers with its graceful, tall slender jet of water that reaches up to 200 feet (60 meters) if the wind is calmer. Top measurement was at 218 ft.
Since the boardwalk is close, there’s it the potential of getting drenched to the skin in the spray. While the water that erupts from the cone is hot, the spray quickly cools to quite a cold shower which is not a bad thing on a hot summer’s day. Noticing the wind direction is a good thing to do when watching an eruption from the boardwalk. There are geyser gazers (geyser enthusiasts) who bring ponchos and umbrellas just to stand in this different type of “holy water.” Also, know that the water has silica in it, and if allowed to dry on surfaces (camera lenses, glasses, etc.) it can leave a mineral deposit that’s difficult to clean off. Wipe them off quickly or keep them stowed away." yellowstonenaturalist.com
I found that out the hard way, with the mist ruining a new polarizer. Lesson learned.
Have a fabulous week!

It is now time for an image of the iconic Old Faithful geyser. On the day we visited the geyser, the next eruption was predicted to erupt at 12 noon. We positioned ourselves in the best place to take photographs and waited. Sure enough the geyser erupted at almost exactly twelve noon. Another image of Old Faithful is in the first comment section.
Old Faithful is a cone geyser located in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, United States. Old Faithful was named in 1870 during the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition and was the first geyser in the park to receive a name. It is a highly predictable geothermal feature; since 2000, it has erupted every 44 to 125 minutes.
More than 1,000,000 eruptions have been recorded. Harry Woodward first described a mathematical relationship between the duration and intervals of the eruptions in 1938. Old Faithful is not the tallest or largest geyser in the park; those titles belong to the less predictable Steamboat Geyser. The reliability of Old Faithful can be attributed to the fact that it is not connected to any other thermal features of the Upper Geyser Basin.
Eruptions can shoot 3,700 to 8,400 US gallons (14,000 to 32,000 L) of boiling water to a height of 106 to 185 feet (32 to 56 m) lasting from 1 1⁄2 to 5 minutes. The average height of an eruption is 145 feet (44 m). Intervals between eruptions can range from 35 to 120 minutes, averaging 66.5 minutes in 1939, slowly increasing to an average of 90 minutes today, which may be the result of earthquakes affecting subterranean water levels. The disruptions have made earlier mathematical relationships inaccurate but have made Old Faithful more predictable in terms of its next eruption. – Wikipedia
Like the eruption of Krakatoa, the Red-necked Grebe mated pairs regularly erupt into this raucous dialog between them. Here these two are doing their bit with beaks open and sound waves blasting my ears ;)
Taken 14 June 2021 in Anchorage, Alaska.
A bird flying in front of an erupting volcano. I think this is the same bird as in the last shot, which means I think it is a vulture, or zopilote in Guatemala. The volcano is Fuego, erupting over Antigua Guatemala.
Just love how this old tree erupts from the surrounding fauna. Taken on top of the slopes of The Hangings at Whiteleaf, Buckinghamshire.
Celebrating the welcome arrival of Spring!
White Dome Geyser is a conspicuous cone-type geyser located in the Lower Geyser Basin along Firehole Lake Drive. It's 12-foot-high geyser cone is one of the largest in the park."
Geysers are rare. There are more than 300 of them in Yellowstone in the western United States—approximately half the world’s total—and about 200 on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East, about 40 in New Zealand, 16 in Iceland, and 50 scattered throughout the world in many other volcanic areas.
Enjoy this first day of Spring and the beauty and bounty that comes with it. 🌺🌹
I was trying for a Milky Way shot and couldn't get a good one with something in the near foreground, so I decided to try and get SP Crater looking like it was erupting the Milky Way. Meh. Dunno why there is
that weird flare on Jupiter. I'm guessing dirt on the lens?
I captured one meteor. Later a HUGE meteor came down. I was very excited. But as you can see below, I had 3 dark frames. Yep, I had the lens cap on for the big meteor. D'oh!

From the volcano eruption in Geldingadalur, Iceland. This is from my second trip there, in May in a flight. The crader is much bigger and the eruption is pulsating but the lava flow is steady. The area I walked on in the first time is now under lava. It was snowing most of the time, making photoshooting not easy.
Subterminal eruption from the new eruptive fissure, opened on July 25th at the eastern base of Northeast Crater, seen from Serra delle Concazze (2.070 aslm), Etna - 5 August 2014.
One of my all time favorite spots to photograph in the Tetons....every day offers something a little bit different than the day before, and each season offers a different perspective. This one was shot last May, as all the spring colors were emerging, and on this particular morning, the clouds were just hanging over Mt. Moran, giving it an appearance of erupting. Getting up early definitely has its advantages at times :-)
Busy week, so I will catch up with everyone as I can. Have a great Wednesday, and many thanks for all your views and comments!!!!

Pierre Jacques VOLAIRE (Toulon 1729 - Naples 1799)
In the second half of the 18th century, Vesuvius fascinated connoisseurs who set off on their grand tour to discover the antiquities and discoveries of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Its eruptions were also a source of inspiration for artists in search of the sublime, a delicious terror that delighted the spirit.
By far my favorite trip to Thors Well, we arrived Friday evening just in time for sunset and timed the high tide perfectly. I was in the middle of a bunch of photographers who were wearing rain gear and had umbrellas protecting their cameras. I was wearing shorts, t shirt and tennis shoes and I got completely drenched by the waves and almost hypothermia by the time I got finished taking pictures. It was totally worth it, I had a great time and I was in my element.
I captured this recently on a cold, foggy morning. The silence was deafening and then a flock of birds emerged from the fog completing the scene.
The geyser typically erupts every 6–10 minutes. Its usual height is 15–20 metres, although it can sometimes shoot boiling water to a height of 40 metres. This is an area of high geothermal activity in Iceland. Just 50 metres away is the original Geysir, from which we get the word geyser in the English language.
