1783 Icelandic Volcanic Eruption
June 8, 1783. One of the most violent and important volcanic eruptions of recorded history began on this date. Laki, or Skafta, volcano in southern Iceland continued erupting for eight months, expelling an estimated 4½ cubic miles of lava, ultimately causing a famine and the deaths of nearly 10,000 persons. Acid rain reached Western Europe, and other climatic and atmospheric changes were worldwide. English naturalist Gilbert White described some of the horrible phenomena of the summer of 1783, including the peculiar haze, or smokey fog unlike anything known within the memory of man. The effects of this volcanic eruption and its possible long-term consequences are still being studied by scientists. See also: White, Gilbert: Birth Anniversary (July 18).

Here is some more footage of the volcano that was responsible for hundreds of grounded flights. The Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull is breathtaking to see in person, and we were able to take a helicopter to tour the area where the eruption occurred. This footage was taken on April 19, 2010 by Auto Europe.

About the wind noise in the video:
I Wish I would had an external Microphone with a microphone cover. The Nikon D5300 has a built in mic and the settings for Wind noise reduction was off....
Please turn down the volume :)

What is Lava? ( - Daytours through volcanoes and lava fields)
Lava is made up of crystals, volcanic glass, and bubbles (volcanic gases). As magma gets closer to the surface and cools, it begins to crystallize minerals like olivine and form bubbles of volcanic gases. When lava erupts it is made up of a slush of crystals, liquid, and bubbles. The liquid freezes to form volcanic glass.
19.2.2015. The lava field is now 85km²

26. January 2015: News report There is one thing not true in this news report from CCTV; There are no villages being evacuated. The eruption is in the middle of the highland, there is no one living there. yes there is sulfur-dioxide in the air in various places in Iceland coming from the eruption, depending of the direction of the wind, but it's not threat.

An overview of the activity in Bardarbunga and the volcanic eruption in Holuhraun:
21. December 2014
The lava field is now 80 square kilometers!
10. september 2014
The lava field is now more than 70 square kilometers!
7. september 2014
The lava field (upto 50 square kilometers) continues to grow. The subsidence of the Bárðarbunga caldera (~30m) continues, at slightly slower rate than before. Seismic activity in Bárðarbunga continues but with less large earthquakes. GPS measurements show minor movements.
It is estimated that the eruption produces 35,000 tons SO2 daily. Gas emissions at the eruption site are life threatening, gas masks and gas meters are required. There, local wind anomalies can occur due to thermal convection from the lava. This makes conditions on site extremely dangerous as winds can change suddenly and unpredictably. Dispersed, the gas can be detected elsewhere,
Þann 3. september 2014 fór ég sem myndasmiður fyrir fréttamiðil norðan heiða að gosstöðvunum norðan Dyngjujökuls. Ég hafði komið á þetta svæði á fjórða tug skipta í sumar og virkilega furðulegt að hafa eldgos í bakgarðinum hjá sér ef svo má segja. Þegar kyrrmyndatöku fyrir fréttamiðilinn var lokið tók ég þetta myndband fyrir sjálfan mig og vini til minja, einskonar selfí. Nú hugsa ég að margir geti verið gramir sem ekki hafa fengið leyfi til að fara inn á svæðið, og finnist heldur fúlt að sjá mig taka þetta „selfí“ myndband. Fann vel fyrir hættunni og náði góðum myndum fyrir fréttamiðilinn áður en ég tók þetta myndband sem áður segir, til minja fyrir sjálfan mig og vini. Ég sé eftir að hafa ekki klippt það af örlítið meiri metnaði og haft hljóðnema með sokk, mig bara óraði ekki fyrir að þetta myndband yrði svo vinsælt. Hver veit nema maður geri aðra útgáfu sem inniheldur ekki andlitið á mér og klippt og unnið í heldur betri gæðum.
September 23: 2014: The volcanic eruption in Holuhraun continues with similar rate as last few days. The eruption does not seem to be declining. The lava production continues with the same strength. The lava flow is now around the centre of the lava field, which is now around 37 square kilometres.
According to new measurements the magma flow is 250-350 cubic meters pr. second.
The subsidence of the Bardarbunga caldera continues with same rate as before.
Big earthquakes are still detected in the Bardarbunga caldera. Since noon yesterday there have been 12 earthquakes bigger the M3, 0. The biggest one was measured M5,5 at 10:51 yesterday morning making it the second biggest earthquake since this wave of seismic activity started on August 16. Smaller earthquakes were detected in north part of the dyke and around the eruption site. Earthquakes up to M4 have been measured under the north-north-west slopes of Bardarbunga.
Most roads in Iceland are open and accessible including the Ring road (nr. 1) around Iceland and safe for travelling. However, due to the volcanic eruption in the area north of Vatnajökull glacier, the highland north of Vatnajökull glacier is closed for all traffic. The website on safe travel in Iceland is updated regularly and so are their information screens around Iceland. A live webcam of the eruption can be found at

Volcano eruption in Iceland! Extreme Aviation Iceland
4th -5th September 2014 I flew with my father, Haukur photographer and Lára Ómarsdóttir news reporter to the highlands of Iceland with a tent to see the volcano eruption in twilight. The trip was amazing as we were the first to see a new fissure open in the ground two kilometers from the main fissure. We spent the night at Sauðárflugvöllur, high in the highlands and woke up at 4:30 in the morning as the temperature was only at 0 deg Celcius. We had to remove some ice from the wings before we took off in the morning fog. The plane is a Jodel D-140 TF-ULF and the cameras I used was Canon 60D and GoPro 2 and 3. The song is by my friend Jónas Haraldsson (jonas.haraldsson@outlook.com). The photographs are by Haukur Snorrason. haukur@snorrason.is.

Iceland │ Fimmvörðuháls │ Volcanic Eruption 2010
Breathtaking video and slide show sceneries from the Volcanic eruption in Fimmvörðuháls / Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland 2010 made by the Professional Landscape and Documentary Photographer Rafn Sigurbjörnsson
Fimmvörðuháls (Icelandic pronunciation: (five cairns pass) is the area between the glaciers Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull in southern Iceland.
On 20 March 2010, an eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano began in Fimmvörðuháls following months of small earthquakes under the Eyjafjallajökull glacier.
The eruption began around 23:00 and opened a 0.5 km (0.31 mi) long fissure vent on the northern part of the pass. Just over a week later, the Fimmvörðuháls eruption produced a 300-meter (980 ft)-long fissure and new craters were seen erupting on a northward path toward the area of Thórsmörk, a popular tourist nature preserve, prompting tours to stop briefly as volcanologists assessed the situation further.
The two new craters at Fimmvörduháls were named Magni and Móði, after the sons of Thor, the Norse god of thunder. It is an apt name because Thórsmörk is close to the craters.
The new lava field was named Goðahraun, because the lava streamed in the area Goðaland. These official names were accepted by the Minister of Education and Culture 15 June 2010.
In April 2010, this was followed by a larger eruption on Eyjafjallajökull itself.

Rafn is an Icelandic Landscape and Nature Documentary Photographer living just a few kilometers outside the Capital of Reykjavík. Where nature surrounds him and he only needs to walk a few minutes to some of the most beautiful places Iceland has to offer. His goal is to document the raw nature for the coming generation to show them what we have or are destroying. His fascination with the Icelandic nature and geologic diversity is endless. Although he has been photographing Iceland for more than thirty years now, he finds the magic is still around the corner and he understands it will take more than a lifetime to finish the job.
He has published 8 books called “Wild Iceland – the untouched nature”. Each book focuses on the collection of the best of the sensational nature of the individual parts of Iceland; these eight books contain photographs of the south, southwest, west, and Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, north, east, west fjord and the highlands.

Visit the volcanoes
- Reykjavik volcanoes are due to erupt. How that would happen, where the rivers of magma would run into the city area is what Reykjavik erupts is all about.
The video features places at Icelandic volcanoes, mostly from Reykjanes peninsula.
The video is originally from a longer video made by Ellert Grétarsson, a well known photographer and activist. See here
He has, alongside with the owner of Reykjavik erupts and many more, fought hard for preservation of the extraordinary and beautiful nature of the volcanoes on Reykjanes peninsula.
I hope his video, this video and the guests that come to Iceland to experience the powerful presence of this volcanic nature will help protecting it. To destroy it for short time profit would be such a shame.

At the moment is erupted Eyjafjallajökull volcano.The eruptions of the comparatively small Eyjafjallajökull glacier volcano in Iceland have historically preceded massive eruptions by the more feared Mount Katla. Experts are concerned that the present volcanic eruption could trigger activity at Mount Katla, which is potentially much more dangerous.
