As some of you already know, there is a volcano eruption going on in Iceland right now. Obviously the only thing to do was to drive up to the volcano. Every single modified SUV was there, it was more crowded than downtown Reykjavík (not like that is impressive ).

Anyway, I'll let the pictures do the talking. (Right click > view image for higher resolution)

The group of people we traveled with (about 1/100th of the people on the glacier that day)

Trail of lava, contrary to what you see there is a LOT of lava flowing below the rocky layer

More steam...
https://i795.photobucket.com/albums/yy239/davidhal/Volcano/IMG_1457.jpg

Even more people
https://i795.photobucket.com/albums/yy239/davidhal/Volcano/IMG_1460.jpg

The amount of people there was simply mind boggling

The second crater that had just opened up.

Don't be fooled by the ash, there is no ground under us, it's 100% ice.

Drove up a hill to see all the cars
https://i795.photobucket.com/albums/yy239/davidhal/Volcano/IMG_1600.jpg

And a shot of the volcano
https://i795.photobucket.com/albums/yy239/davidhal/Volcano/IMG_1603.jpg

This last image would have been so much better if we had a tripod, I had to balance the camera on the car (idling 3 liter diesel engine....not stable) and there was almost no light, so it's inevitably blurry.

When I read the topic, I was expecting an epic picture of you jumping over the peak of a traditional conical volcano in a badass sports car. Needless to say, I am disappoint.

Volcanoes are awesome though, and this is no exception. Really beautiful pictures there.
