This stunning footage shows lava spurting from the newly-erupting volcano in Iceland on July 22, 2023.
Other images captured the lava flowing like veins down the side of the volcano.
Hiker and Photographer Sbastien Malgrand (27) from Paris, France captured live video footage and photography from the newly erupting site Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland.
On July 22, Sebastien visited the active volcano site in Iceland that started to erupt on July 10.
Sebastien used a Samsung galaxy s23 ultra and DJI mini 3 pro to capture the live footage of lava spewing from the mouth of the volcano.
Sebastien first visited the site two days after it started erupting, and went back again on July 22 to see how much damage the volcano had caused within ten days.
The heat was so incredible from hundreds of metres away, but Sebastien was able to get only a few metres away from the running lava, and thirty-metres from the volcano itself.
It was awesome. I wasn't planning to go there at the time because there were only earthquakes and I was on the Eastside of Iceland, he said.
Some lava flows could be only a few metres away from us.
When you're upwind on the mountain opposite and the flows are huge, you can feel the intense heat of the lava from several hundred metres away. It was incredible.
I was never scared, maybe more for the other people that take some risk to go too close to the volcano.
Personally, it was like a dream. I'd been planning this trip for two years, with images of past eruptions in my head.
