The Icelandic Volcano has erupted, and it is only the beginning of eruptions. As more CME’s pound the earth we all should be watching out for another major eruption in the coming days. Quake Watch!
Raw beauty: Lava spews out of a mile-long fissure that slices through the Holuhraun lava field north of Bardarbunga, Iceland’s largest volcano
The lava flowing from the fissure is known as pahoehoe lava, a Hawaiian term, and it is forming slabs on the surface
Incredible scene: Scientists say the temperature of the lava is about 1200C at the centre of a fissure near the rumbling volcano
Fountains of lava: Scientists are keeping a close watch on Bardarbunga, Iceland’s largest volcano, and the 200-year-old Holuhraun lava field
Air travel worries: Scientists say the eruption that began Sunday has not created any ash fall and the seismic activity decreased by almost half on Tuesday
Dramatic eruption: A white plume of steam and gas extends nearly three miles above sea level, but the aviation alert level has not been raised above orange
Photographer Einar Gudmann, from Akureyri, Iceland, battled windy weather and a sandstorm to shoot the scene from a plane 500 feet above the ground
Uncertain future: Scientists say they are monitoring the situation and the potential scenarios include additional eruptions that could cause flooding or an ash cloud
A bed of fire is forming as 1200C lava pours out of a mile-long crack north of the rumbling Bardarbunga volcano in southeast Iceland
Highly dangerous gas levels have been reported at the eruption site, so scientists are urging visitors to be equipped with gas sensors and gas masks
What a view: Photographers are capturing breathtaking scenes as molten lava is spewed more than 30 metres into the air during a dramatic volcanic eruption
Spectacular: Lava spurts from a fissure in the ground on the north side of the Bardarbunga volcano in Iceland
Heavenly sight? An orange glow is visible in the sky over the site of a volcanic eruption at the Holuhraun lava field in Iceland
Danger zone: Icelandic officials had already closed roads and evacuated an area to the north of Bardarbunga as they prepared for an eruption
