A volcano in southwestern Iceland erupted multiple times on Thursday, sending vibrant jets of lava and smoke into the sky amidst a stunning timelapse featuring the northern lights.
Captivating footage unveils the breathtaking eruption of an Icelandic volcano set against the canvas of the enchanting northern lights, painting a scene reminiscent of the most spellbinding imagery found within the pages of a fantasy novel.The extraordinary event captured on camera is part of the Sundhnúkur eruptions, situated approximately 4 kilometers northeast of Grindavik, a coastal town home to 3,800 people. This area had been evacuated prior due to a previous eruption on Dec. 18th.
Marco shared a series of images on his social media platform, revealing that he had been striving to capture these shots for years."The sky exploded just a few minutes after we arrived, so we sent the drones out in order to get a decent composition, given that the northern lights were fairly high in the sky and with a drone would've been a bit faster to move around the eruptive area," Marco wrote on Instagram.
