Tourists flock to Iceland volcano, cook food on lava
Sightseers have been flocking to a spectacular volcano eruption in Iceland. Lava has been flowing from Keilir since the mountain first started spewing fire a week ago. But hikers trying for the perfect selfie are being warned not to get too close.
Lava bubbles, spits and pours out of from the crater of this volcano. It began erupting here on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula last Friday - the first time in around 900 years. So perhaps it's no surprise that thousands of people have been flocking here to witness this rare event, trying to get as close as they dare for that perfect picture.
With hikers getting hungry, some have used the lava as a giant grill. But this does come with a warning. There have also been warnings of volcanic gas pollution.
Before the eruption there were more than 50,000 earthquakes here in just three weeks. They were caused by a large body of molten rock, known as magma, which has pushed its way to the surface.
It's unclear for how much longer this volcano will continue to erupt. For now though, Icelanders are enjoying its hypnotic displays.

New (*Meradalir) fissure opens up near Fagradalsfjall volcano about 20 miles (about 32km) south of Reykjavik. This occurred around 1pm on the 3rd (local time) and has continued and is bigger then the previous one. It will change in a week and for how long it will erupt is anyone's guess. The Fagradalsfjall volcano stopped some 8 months ago and the fault line and lava is expected to flow either north or east, but we shall have to see how this develops. e shall have to see if a volcano forms and what they will call it.
*The (Meradalir) fissure (volcanic) lava flow is an unofficial name, I just using for now (as it has been used online elsewhere by others (including some geologists).
I was lucky enough to start watching this (live cams they have there, just after the fissure opened (a few hours later) after the region experienced 10,000 tremors and then the fissure opened up.

BIG NEWS - A Volcanic Eruption Just Started in Iceland - The First Video
An eruption just started near the crater from the 2021 eruption in Geldingadalir, Iceland, like I had promised, I was close by and this is some of the first footage shot from there but it was windy so I didn't have full range with the drone so I'm leaving a link to close ups images shot from a plane just now. And live cam links of course.
The fissure is longer than then opened up during the 2021 eruption but this is so new that I'm not sure if the area will be evacuated, but it's possible until the scientists see how this plays out, like with gas pollution, and in case the issuer will extend to both or south. As it looks not, the lava will flow to Merardalur valley so this looks like the best case scanner now.
This quick edit is just a small part of a huge photo tour today and I had no time for voiceover since I'm going to stay here in Grindavík longer, and then make a super fine video with HQ footage. And with that I'm sending you best regards from Iceland.
Special thanks to Bryggjan Cafe for letting me in to get this online quick since I'm on the road.
