Live webcam action of the Geldingadalur volcano eruption near Reykjavik in Iceland, which is linked from Jón Frímann Jónsson's superb website on Icelandic geology:

There was a helicopter visible earlier doing a flypast of the new cones.

There was a bit about this several weeks/months ago. It talked about how it was likely to be a low pressure out flowing of lava rather than an explosive opening.

Seems they were right.

Oh that's incredible!

My cousin lives in Taormina in Sicily, and has a great view of Etna from their balcony. It's been fairly active lately. I'll see if I can find the photos she posted on FB >>>>>>

Not sure I'd want to be this close

Sorry they're a bit big.

Blimey, I wouldn't like to live that close to a volcano like Etna either, Kaz!

I suppose your cousin just takes it in her stride ....

She loves it Ossie But then she's the adventurous type

Once did a refuelling stop near Reggio Calabria on the toe of Italy en route to a detachment at Decimomanuu in Sardinia and the ever smoking Etna was impressive even from that distance. Taormina is a bit too close for my liking.

Isn't there supposed to be some monster trapped down there by Zeus or some other god?

Probably!

Just in case you couldn't make it ......
