The incredible geyser of lava in Iceland (fr bellow) This video shows the succession of volcanic phenomena from the Geldingadalur eruption in southwest Iceland. In less than two minutes, it is possible to observe a concentration of really amazing activities. At first, the crater fills up giving visually the impression of observing a lava lake like the one that was present in the crater of Nyiragongo volcano in the DRC, or that of Erta Alé in Ethiopia. Then the lava begins to flow in cascade at a very high speed through an indentation in the walls of the crater. Huge bubbles then explode on the surface of this lava lake giving the same effect as what could be observed in the Bembow and Marum craters in Vanuatu.
