Bardarbunga Eruption: Lava FlowsAt 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 flows, approaching a total length of 20 kms. The pressure of the main flow was so strong as to force lava to spring from many lateral ephemeral vents along the lava field. | |||
 The steam from lava entering Jokulsa a Fjollum river 20 km far away. |  One of the lateral lava fronts: the jeep tracks give the scale. |  Spectacular lava falls of very fluid pahoehoe lava. |  Another lateral flow running on the sand of Holuhraun desert. |

 Four active fountains: two feed the main lava flow (right) and a smaller one (left). |  The two lava flows join after a few kms in a bigger lava flow. |  The main fountain rises from a boiling lava lake, the source of the main lava flow. |  Thousands of bombs fly below the eruptive column at right. |
