The volcano on the Icelandic peninsula Reykjanes continues to simmer.
Onlookers are drawn to the natural spectacle again and again - the excursion can be dangerous for reckless photographers.
Reykjanes - The first time in 800 years there was a volcanic eruption on Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula in March.
To this day, geologists, photographers and onlookers regularly visit the eruption site to observe the rare natural phenomenon.
But you should be careful here, because the proximity to the lava can also be life-threatening.
Although the eruption in the southwest of the country was a few months ago, the volcano remains active.
Fissures in the Fagradalsfjall mountain range break open again and again, releasing large masses of lava.
A video of a tourist now shows how a careless photographer is almost hit by a sudden wave of lava.
It shows: Despite the need for spectacular images, a sufficient safety distance should be kept so as not to put your life in danger.
Iceland's volcanoes: tourists are always drawn to the eruption sites
In total there are about 31 active volcanoes in Iceland.
One of them, the Krysuvik volcanic system in the Geldingadir valley, erupted for the first time in almost 800 years in March 2021.
Authorities and scientists are currently using the opportunity to carry out experiments on the volcanic rock and the eruption site.
The volcanoes bubble again and again in Iceland.
Warnings relating to the endangerment and obstruction of the European airspace have already been sent out several times.
In other countries, too, volcanic eruptions can repeatedly become a danger: For example, several people were killed in a volcanic eruption in New Zealand last year.
