Occurred on March 21, 2021 / Geldingadalur, Iceland
Info from Licensor: "After parking on the outskirts of a town called Grindavik, my friends and I began the long hike into the mountains. It took around two hours to hike into the valley where the volcanic fissure had opened just two days prior. We were treated with an awesome display of Mother Nature's fury. The raw lifeblood of the Earth flowing from deep within the mantle and creating new land right before our very eyes. We set up on the hillside opposite the fissure and I launched my drone up and focused on the newly formed caldera. At that moment the entire southern side of the crater rim collapsed, spewing a tidal wave of lava out of the side of the volcano. A great cheer went up from the crowd, which quickly turned into a frightened yell as the wave of lava came quickly down the hillside. Fortunately, no one was injured."
