That looks a bit close. When rock is bubbling, I think I'd rather many miles away from it.

  This is the same volcano that erupted last summer and moved slowly enough that you could actually hike it. It was stunning.

    As a short and concise report on last year's eruption I would recommend this 60 minutes[0] piece [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LI8Gcpawvo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LI8Gcpawvo

      When 60 minutes is the short and concise version, I'm wondering if Peter Jackson has the full extended version available

        If anyone would like to import him, New Zealand would appreciate it.

        No no, he's perfectly fine right where he is. In fact, if you chaps could do a better job of keeping him away from the Tolkein estate, that would be lovely.

  There are several different kinds of eruptions, some of them you want to be many miles away from, others just far enough not to be too hot. It depends on the kinds of materials in the volcano, the Iceland volcanoes aren't the ones that do the exploding and pyroclastic flows, IIRC.

    In Iceland it really depends on whether the eruption is under ice or not. Eyjafjallajökull's last eruption was infamously explosive for example.

  Perspective can be weird. They're probably a good distance away.

> edit: sadly the stream has been cut down to minutes from its original hour+ length. Damn, I opened this when you posted it and wanted to come back to it when I had some down time later in the day and saw it's been clipped; it was interesting to see how close all those camera men got to the active site. I was on Maui in 2014 when Kilauea happened on the Big Island and brought back to those days. It was pretty crazy because I was waiting on tons of equipment coming in from the mainland which got delayed because of this, even though the route was coming in from Oahu before departing to Maui. Luckily this eruption doesn't seem like the one in 2010 which would compound and already horrible flying experience this summer. I found a link on youtube with an alt live stream, its not as lose but still shows a pretty good vantage point [1]. 0: https://edition.cnn.com/2014/10/28/us/hawaii-volcano/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2014/10/28/us/hawaii-volcano/index.h... 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF2-ecAINWg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF2-ecAINWg
