Volcanic eruptions can be both terrifying and fascinating.

The Iceland Meteorological Office is monitoring the Fagradalsfjall volcano and sending flights to investigate its activity.

I recently checked out theclose-upand saw red-hot spewing lava kicking up like a fountain.

Thepanoramic viewoffers stunning scenery and helps to put the eruption location in perspective.

Fagradalsfjall had been on a vacation of sorts aftererupting spectacularly in 2021.

The volcano gave some advance warning of its 2022 intentions to erupt by unleashing a swarm of small earthquakes.

The livestreams could be delivering excellent views for quite some time.

The 2021 eruption lasted for almost half a year.

The volcano may continue to be more scenic than dangerous.
