Thursday, September 18, 2014 — Romancing the Volcano

I can’t help it. I’ve fall­en in love with a vol­cano. It’s so damn beau­ti­ful. Here is a video from Feel Ice­land TV. In the plane are Haukur Snor­ra­son, pho­tog­ra­ph­er & his son (un-named), and reporter Lára Ómars­dót­tir. The music is by Jónas Har­alds­son. Note on scale: the lava field shown is the size of Manhattan.

Now here are some pho­tographs, tak­en ridicu­lous­ly close up, by not-quite-sane pho­tog­ra­ph­er Valdimar Leifsson:
