Iceland volcano eruption offers "most beautiful" lava show
Scientists descended on the area near an erupting volcano in Iceland's southwest on Sunday, as lava continued to pour from the crater near Fagradalsfjall, a mountain on the Reykjanes Peninsula since Friday.
Drone footage showed lava spewing from the volcano, as people showed up to film and enjoy the natural phenomenon. Scientists at the foot of the volcano even used its lava as a giant grill to cook up hot dogs as they studied the eruption.
The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) which had classified the eruption as small, said measurements showed no volcanic ash had been detected but a high level of volcanic gases had been measured close to the eruption site.
"Here is the most beautiful thing that I have seen, this volcano," a member of Iceland's Search and Rescue team said. The volunteer group was at the site to make sure spectators were safe.
