#2There is also a live video feed[0] available from the coast guard helicopter as it flew a reconnaissance flight over the eruption with scientists today
edit: sadly the stream has been cut down to minutes from its original hour+ length.

That looks a bit close. When rock is bubbling, I think I'd rather many miles away from it.

This is the same volcano that erupted last summer and moved slowly enough that you could actually hike it. It was stunning.

There are several different kinds of eruptions, some of them you want to be many miles away from, others just far enough not to be too hot.
It depends on the kinds of materials in the volcano, the Iceland volcanoes aren't the ones that do the exploding and pyroclastic flows, IIRC.

As a short and concise report on last year's eruption I would recommend this 60 minutes[0] piece

In Iceland it really depends on whether the eruption is under ice or not. Eyjafjallajökull's last eruption was infamously explosive for example.

#8GeologyHub ( https://www.youtube.com/c/GeologyHub/videos ) does very short (~4 minute) daily videos on volcanic activity, and has covered Iceland several of times recently.

#9The perfect time to recommend Fire of Love (2022): https://imdb.com/title/tt16227014/
It a beautiful documentary with footage from the 60s-90s about a volcanist couple who embarked on a mission to understand volcanoes scientifically and (later) educate the public about their dangers. Terrific cinematography!
Edit: I now see it has 99% critics review on rotten tomatoes (88% from the audience) https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/fire_of_love

This was literally promoted last night by one of my favorite movie writers yesterday. Upon looking at listings all I see were showtimes in major cities like NYC. New Jersey just has mass market junk :/
