Live webcam overlooking the eruption of Geldingadalir volcano - one of the most amazing natural phenomena in Iceland. The volcano is located just 40-50 kilometers from Reykjavik, on the Reykjanes Peninsula.
The eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcano in the Geldingadalir Valley, which began on March 19 on the Icelandic Peninsula Reykjanes this weekend, has intensified after prolonged stability. It seemed that the volcano had already completely calmed down, but then again threw out a column of lava and ash to a height of 300 meters. It was clearly visible from Reykjavik - the volcano is located only 50 km from the capital of Iceland and only 32 km from the main national airport "Keflavik".
Scientists suggest that the eruption could continue for several more months.
The Reykjanes Peninsula is famous for its large lava fields and active volcanic phenomena such as numerous hot springs and geothermal energy. Even translated from Icelandic, Reykjanes means "Cape of Smokes". Its rocky landscapes are also impressive. It is because of this that this region is very sparsely populated. But for tourists this is only a plus - after all, there are few places where you can be alone with the wild nature.
The Reykjanes Peninsula has an active volcanic system under its surface located in the southwest of Iceland. The peninsula is quite sparsely populated, with the exception of the metropolitan area of Reykjavik, which is the largest city on the peninsula. In addition, it is in this region that Keflavik International Airport is located, where most of the tourists arrive. And acquaintance with Iceland begins with lava fields covered with gray-green moss. There are also several other small towns - Grindavik, Sandgerdi, Vogar, Hafnir and Gardur, like many decades ago, they exist due to fishing. And if you want to look at the traditional way of life in Iceland, then it is worth stopping by. Even though in recent years, due to the increase in the number of tourists in Iceland, life here has changed a lot.
