Thankyou. I love stuff like this. I often watch etna and stromboli on skyline webcams

It wont load for me. Just stays as the blue play square button.

I was watching this just as dawn was breaking this morning. I saw Frodo Baggings crawl from right to left up the dark volcanic ash clutching something shiny in his hand.

I just saw a helicopter go by!

AlCalavicci · 20/03/2021 19:02

ooh thats amazing , I did not realise how big / far away it was til the helicopter flew past

MrsBerthaRochester · 20/03/2021 19:05

Love this!!

Seeingadistance · 20/03/2021 19:09

You can see people, and sheep, wandering about next to it!

I read an article about the earthquake swarms that preceded this eruption. It said Icelanders were looking forwards to a “tourist eruption” and would travel from all over the island to see it. So-called tourist eruption because the threat to life of being in the vicinity is limited and they draw a crowd. Thanks for link. It’s rather lovely and hypnotic.

RachelRoth · 20/03/2021 19:19

Thanks for that!

whiteroseredrose · 20/03/2021 19:19

It's amazing. We went last year and Iceland is spectacular but this would have been the icing on the cake.

Tempted to go back again when they open up.

TyneTeas · 20/03/2021 19:22

Helicopter parked up bottom left looks like a whale!

Does anyone know what the people ate doing?

tenlittlecygnets · 20/03/2021 19:26

Thanks for the link. It is incredible.

Bimblybomeyelash · 20/03/2021 19:32

I’m amazed that there seem to be people wondering about so close!

Seeingadistance · 20/03/2021 19:34

@Bawdrip

Does anyone know what the people ate doing?
I think they’re just there for a look. I suppose some of them will have a professional interest, or reporters. If I were in Iceland I’d go along for the experience.

goes to check on flights to Iceland

@Bawdrip

Does anyone know what the people ate doing?
I was just going to ask that. It doesn't look like they're trying to get away from it does it?

MrsTerryPratchett · 20/03/2021 19:43
