"This is one of my personal favourite clips of this year, which I captured during the August eruption at Sundhnúkagígar. I didn’t have much time to go out and record footage but managed to squeeze in one evening inbetween two photo workshops. This particular flow really caught my eye. The various patterns and movement directions are really mind boggling to watch. From top to bottom, I estimate the distance to be about 30 meters based on the altitude I was flying at and the lens I used.

PS: To reiterate: everything I post here is real. I do not fabricate content, nor manipulate it. The speed of the lava flows are always as I observed them, I even rarely crop the footage you see here."

The area is restricted. As a member of press, I have permission to access it."

Pleinairpril day 8: Sundhnúkagígar crater

Been following the news in Iceland of the volcano that started its eruption mid march, and thought it'd make a cool study

Really wanted one with aurora in the background but this made a better subject xD

Grindavik, ísland, 2023.

The Sundhnúkagígar volcano which began erupting yesterday along a roughly 4 km fissure is spewing lava and gasses about 2 km from these scenes in the north end of the fishing town. These buildings, along with many others, are threatened. With a pre-emergency population of about 4,000, Grindavik has been evacuated since mid November. A nearby power plant complex, which provides geothermal heat and cheap electricity to about 10 percent of ísland's population, is also under threat.

Volcano special: Sundhnúkagígar

Good news: Iceland is having another eruption! Better news: at time of writing, it’s flowing away from major infrastructure like Grindavik, the Blue Lagoon and the Svartsengi geothermal power station! After all the rumblings and theories of the last three months or so, it seems to have popped up in the best possible place of all the options it’s offered up.   View this post on Instagram   A…

"One of my favorite captures this year is this top-down clip of lava flowing over snow. I managed to capture this moment during the February eruption at Sundhnúkagígar this year. This clip sparked a lot of debate in the comments section, as people questioned whether it was real because there’s no visible steam when the lava crosses over the snow. I must admit, it also baffled me when I saw it in person, so I decided to seek explanations.

What happens is likely the result of the Leidenfrost effect. The lava is so incredibly hot that it melts the top part of the snow, which then creates a vapour layer that shields the bottom part from the heat temporarily. Similarly to what you can observe when water droplets scoot around on a hot metal plate. The lava moves so fast that it actually manages to cover the snow before it can melt. As a result, it is all trapped underneath the fresh lava. Extremely fascinating if you ask me.
