This is a 10-day time-lapse video made from the Icelandic National Broadcasting Services live stream of the volcanic eruption in Geldingadalir on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland. The video spans about ten days in just under 22 minutes. From 20.03.2021 11:58 to 30.03.2021 09:31

A lot of frames had to be cut out due to low visibility, blinding light and people walking in front of the camera. The edits should result in more pleasant viewing of the video.

The eruption is the first on the Reykjanes peninsula in almost 800 years. Scientists suspect this to be the beginning of increasing volcanic activity with more eruptions in the area for the next centuries.
This eruption lasted for about 6 months, coming eruptions in the peninsula could last for shorter time, other years or even decades.

The volcano had been spewing out around 5 cubic meters per second (m3/s) of hot lava, around 5 million cubic meters every day. The 1.220-1.240°C (2.228-2.264F) hot lava was the hottest to ever have been measured in Iceland. The lava has a chemical signature of a deep origin and the volcano was therefore suspected to be feed by a large reservoir of molten lava at depth of about 17-20km (10.5-12.5 miles).
The lava began flowing into the next valley in early April.

The eruption was in an area which is not inhabited by people so no infrastructure was in any significant danger.

Thanks for the love and support through all of these videos. It has really been encouragement to keep this work going.
