BARDARBUNGA, ICELAND – SEPTEMBER 01: An aerial view of the volcano eruption at Helluhraun mountain on September 1, 2014 in Bardarbunga, Iceland.
Incredible close-up images show a new volcanic eruption in southeast Iceland as a crack spews molten lava 30-metres into the air. Lava has been spurting from a crack north of the Bardarbunga volcano since an eruption occurred on Friday (29th August) followed by a larger eruption on Monday (1st September). The fissure slices through the 200-year-old Holuhraun lava field, between the Bardarbunga and the Askja volcanoes. The stunning photographs were captured by photographer Einar Guddman who flew for two and a half hours in a plane to reach the dangerous eruption site. The 47-year-old from Akureyri, Iceland battled windy weather and a sandstorm at to shoot the scene from a plane 500 feet above the ground.
