Iceland's hottest volcano is exactly 3 months old today. And it's no longer an innocent baby. The main crater, which appeared on 13 April, has become a massive bowl of roiling & boiling fire, spewing forth cascading waterfalls of lava. It has grown over 200 metres tall and rises above many of the surrounding hills.
A dyngja in the making. There are now many indications that the Fagradalsfjall crater is very likely to become a shield volcano - a dyngja in Icelandic. During its 3 months existence, it has spitted out various types of basalt and building blocks necessary for the construction of such a volcano.
The big crater. The fire geyser. The one that rules them all. This is the same one, on the night it was born. Including tiny volcano sounds 😉
