The volcanoes of Iceland include a high concentration of active ones due to Iceland's location on the mid-Atlantic Ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary, and its location over a hot spot. The island has 30 active volcanic systems, of which 13 have erupted since the settlement of Iceland in AD 87

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.
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 ;)

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. 🌺🌹
An erupting fissure at Meradalir. The eruption started on 3 Aug 2022, but activity then stopped after some 18 days. The eruption was a continuation of the eruption in Geldingadalir in 2021, which lasted some 6 months. It is most likely that volcanic activity will continue in this area, although scientists don't know if the next phase will start after some weeks, months or years.
Giant Geyser is a cone-type geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. I visited the park in mid-October 2017, and this geyser had most recently erupted on July 7th 2017. Eruption height is 250 feet. Here, it seems to just be blowing off a little steam.
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.
Yellowstone... le volcan endormi ou la "Caldeira de Yellowstone. Située dans le Parc National de Yellowstone, la caldeira se situe sur la plaque nord américaine sur une surface de 85 sur 45km..
La caldeira se forme généralement à la suite d'une forte éruption de type explosif, qui disperse violemment et rapidement la partie supérieure de la chambre magmatique provoquant l'effondrement de la croûte terrestre se trouvant au-dessus de celle-ci, incluant le cône volcanique préexistant, quand celui-ci existe. En analysant les carottes prélevées à travers le parc de Yellowstone, les scientifiques arrivent à dater approximativement la dernière éruption. Elle se serait produite il y a environ 640 000 ans et aurait été assez puissante pour recouvrir d'une couche de cendres environ la moitié de ce que l'on appelle aujourd'hui les États-Unis. Les scientifiques ont calculé que la colonne de cendre dégagée par l'explosion a dû s'élever à une altitude de près de 30 000 m.
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!!!!

Great Western Manor class No. 7812 "Erlestoke Manor" puts on a show for the gallery, during a 30742 photo charter at the Severn Valley railway. 7812, sporting a Cambrian coast express headboard for one of her swansongs before bowing out of traffic for a overhaul, was pictured at the Tenbury wall near Bewdley.
With 3676 meters the Gunung Semeru is the highest mountain and volcano in Jawa. For the (anciënt) population of the region it is the seat of God.
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.
