#3 Evolution of the Volcano in Iceland

In this video I put together clips from all of my visits to the eruption in Geldingadalir, Iceland. The first clip is from within 24 hours after the eruption started and the last clip is from June. I have visited the eruption site over 10 times and on a regular basis so you will hopefully get an good overview of the evolotion of the eruption.
You can see how much the area has changed in less than three months time. I really hope you enjoy the video. If you do I would appreciate if you like it and subscribe to my channel. In the upcoming weeks I will upload more videos from Iceland!
All of the footage is recorded on my DJI Mavic 2 Pro.

[@ralphaverill2001]

Wonderful capturing of the Earth re-generating its skin. Elsewhere on the planet the skin, the crust, is diving back down into the mantle to melt into magma again. The constant cycle, the pulse, one of so many pulses, so many rhythms; of days and seasons and tides and the tiny waves on a small lake in the woods that nobody sees, the wiggling of the strings in the nucleus of every single atom. The power, the energy released in this single volcanic event must be in the terawatt/hour range. It should remind us all who is in charge. Fabulous video.

@Elyse Wright I wasn't watching for a few days when the fissure became monstrous! Are "Bob" and his "girlfriend" (what I called the second vent by its side 😀) still active? Or swallowed up by the monster? Haven't been able to figure that out... TIA for a response!
