A brand new spectacle in town.
A fissure opened up in Meradalir, Reykjanes earlier today, not far from the 2021 eruption site, shooting up fountains of fiery lava. We made a quick flight before the airspace was closed down.
These are quick rushes of the first moments of the eruption. In the days to come I will do a proper post. The Icelandic Coast Guard helicopters are seen in some of the images.
Raw video footage is attached below the stills.

Hi Rajan, I just stopped by having seen some of your photos of the eruption on LuLa. I’m glad I did, because the ones here and the video add so much to one’s appreciation for earth’s forces. Nicely done!
Thank you, Bob.
Fantastic, marvelous, miraculous. Rajan, first on the scene. I am so jealous. Sitting here in New York City. Your shots are superb. You must be thrilled. Congratulations.
