Iceland’s Volcanic Eruption is Reminding Twitter of ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Marshmallow’. Here’s Why

Iceland is witnessing a series of volcanic eruptions this month and on April 9, a new fissure vent started to erupt another basaltic lava flow at a site located between the second and third eruption points. Situated nearly 30 kilometres southwest of the capital city Reykjavik, the volcanic sites, since their first eruption a few weeks ago, continues to attract visitors.

However, a recent tweet that shared some aerial views of the volcanic site of Fagradalsfjall has left netizens in awe of the natural phenomena that is taking place in Iceland. Nature photographer, aerial videographer, and freelance photojournalist Brian Emfinger posted three pictures of the volcano from the location on Saturday.

The pictures were an aerial shot of the magnificent golden orange lava that was oozing out of the depths of the Earth. The black and golden magma that spread on the white snow-covered landmass gave an unreal and almost fantastical look to the entire area. In the picture, several small dots can be seen surrounding the volcanic site and on zooming in, one could see that they are humans who have come to witness this event.
