A new volcanic eruption is currently taking place in Iceland. About forty kilometers from the capital Reykjavik, a crack of several hundred meters began to spit lava on Wednesday August 3. This spectacle attracts many curious people.
Lava geysers several meters high. A sea of fire spitting incandescent flames. The Icelandic land delivers a spectacle that is both magnificent and terrifying. The entrails are open and steaming. Something to surprise tourists. “It’s impressive, it’s a little unreal“says Marion Roux Calzaa French tourist. On Wednesday August 3, the crack broke opened in the valley of meradalir (Iceland)40 km from Reykjavík (Iceland)in the south of the country.
The volcano attracts hundreds of curious people. Since a few days, the earth shook regularly in this region of Iceland so seismologists expected possible eruptions. If there is no major risk for the inhabitants, the local authorities call for caution in the face of potential gas poisoning. On average, Iceland experiences an eruption every five years.
