Reykjavik – Bubble and bubble and bubble …

They are hauntingly beautiful images that thrill an entire country. The Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland has been boiling for over a week and has spewed tons of lava onto the landscape.

A natural spectacle that will not be bored! Night after night, the residents of the small island state gather around the Fagradalsfjall volcano and marvel at the gruesome and beautiful spectacle of the “public view”.

But you shouldn’t get too close to the Hellfire, he warns civil defense officials who have gathered at the “lookouts” to raise awareness.

Because many underestimate the dangers: visitors took selfies just feet from the boiling lava; too dangerous, a spark could ignite clothing, for example.

One of the civil defense officials told the AP news agency that a visitor even tried to cook bacon and eggs in the lava, but the pan had melted in the heat.

Although volcanoes are a part of everyday life in Iceland, it is extremely rare for lava to flow out of the ground so close to the capital. The lava area is only 20 kilometers from Reykjavik; for the more than 100,000 inhabitants, it is almost around the corner.

Public observation of the volcano will continue, as long as Fagradalsfjall “plays along” …
