Bardarbunga Eruption: Lava FountainsAt sunset of 13 September 2014, Marco undertook the second flight by helicopter over the ongoing fissural eruption of Bardarbunga volcano. In this page we show a set of photos of the spectacular lava fountains, mostly in the vent of the main lava river. |

 The southernmost cone (right) still active yesterday is now dormant. |  Inside the southernmost cone, a small lava lake is still boiling. |  Splashes of molten lava at the source of a lava Amazon. |  Looking inside the whole fissure from the north. |
 Extremely hot air blurrs the landscape in the background. |  A fiery lava flow in the background of the fountains. |  High pressure jets of lava from the main vents. |  Three active cones seen in a row from the south. |
