Link: Iceland's "tourist volcano"
« on: April 04, 2021, 10:25:07 »

I have been following this Icelandic English language news-site these days and enjoyed a number of high-resoution videos, mostly from drones that have not been shown in other media, except a few shorter clips:
https://icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/latest/

I am posting the main link to the news site as new spectacular clips keep showing up.
There is also a very nice webcam down the page:

Yes, very fascinating. Today a new fissure opened up, creating a fast flowing long river of lava - looks really unique.

Those drone videos beats the views by far of what one would be able to see if visiting in person, but I agree, it would have been very nice to be able to travel there.

And this guy flies his dron really close to the most active fissure.   :o
