Amazing Video Streams Will let you Witness Iceland’s Volcano Eruption in Real Time

Although it may be alluring to witness the volcanic activity firsthand, it is best to view it via a live broadcast.

A volcano close to Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, has erupted, creating a fiery display of lava fountaining out of the ground and huge clouds of smoke. Several video streams broadcasting live from the scene allow you to follow the action as it develops.

The Fagradalsfjall volcano near the town of Grindavk on the Reykjanes peninsula erupted on August 3 after a flurry of seismic activity, according to the Icelandic Met Office, releasing an outpour of bubbling lava and gas.

The location is being streamed live by the Icelandic media outlet mbl.is, which is providing viewers with a variety of perspectives of the eruption, which is still erupting furiously.

The location is located around 25 kilometers (15 miles) from the metropolitan centre of Reykjavik and about 15 kilometers (9 miles) from Keflavik International Airport. The risk to the general population is thought to be low, nevertheless, because of how sparsely inhabited the area is.

It is strongly urged that people stay away from the eruption and resist the urge to go there. Three tourists have reportedly already suffered injuries as a result of the volcanic activity, according to sources. Not only is there a risk from flaming lava and flying rocky debris, but there is also a risk from unexpected releases of potentially toxic gases.

Since the sequence of earthquakes began last Saturday, we have been anticipating an eruption somewhere in this region. We currently know that there is no risk from the eruption to populated areas or vital infrastructure. In a statement, Iceland’s Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdóttir said, “We will of course continue to closely watch the situation and now we also benefit from the experience learned from last year’s eruption.

So, despite how alluring it may be to witness the phenomenon firsthand, your best option is to watch the volcanic activity from the comfort of your own couch via one of the many live feeds that are now accessible.
