Geldingadalir Volcano, Iceland Live Cam

The crater in Geldingadalir stands in the centre of this view, on the Reykjanes peninsula in southwest Iceland. The cone built up during that eruption stands in the middle of the frame, with its lava field around it and snow on the slopes behind.

The fissure opened on 19 March 2021 after roughly 800 years without an eruption on this peninsula, and it ran for six months, drawing crowds who walked in over the ridge from the road. Further eruptions have since opened at other points along the same fracture system.

The lava field cooled years ago but still steams in places, and the ground in view is black rock rather than the red of the eruption. The stream is run by the Icelandic broadcaster RÚV.
