Volcanic eruption

Renting a car again and driving towards the new volcano

Search and rescue vehicles patroling around the eruption site and looking for losts tourists...

They have many great equipment - a lot of fun :-)

The first hour it is an easy walk on the newly built path - leading along the old eruption from last year

End of the new path - they are extending it whenever the site is closed due to stormy weather

Endless line of people - the first day more then 10'000 visited

Last years eruption site - still hot and smoking

Almost there :-)

Frist breathtaking view

Lava catapulted more than 100m high into the sky

Nice and warm :-) Due to the appropriate wind direction, there are no dangerous gases today

Just siting there...

...and watching the fascinating spectacle for hours

Still warm lava in the back

Again and again there is fresh lava flowing up from under the hard layer and burning every thing in it's path

Lava with temperatures from 800 to 1,200 °C

Some locals even brought sausages and marshmallows to grill over the lava...

There are no rules - the Icelandic authorities rely on self personal responsibility

Only the top layer is of the lava stiffened, below the liquid lava's still pusing the rocks towards us

Very fascinating

Big boy's toys :-)

Ready for every terrain...

Around 10 p.m. it's getting darker

From time to time, a dam breaks and the lava flows very fast, taking with it big pieces of rocks

New lava lake

Nearing midnight

The sky seems to burn

Still (2 a.m.) a long line of people with headlamps heading to the volcano
