The column of dust and smoke billowed with orange lava beams to bounce when the Eyjafjallajökull volcano erupted.In 2010, the volcano was located in the south of Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier, waking up, releasing huge amounts of dust and smoke into the air and causing large-scale disruption in Europe.From here on, geologist, photographer Frederik Holm begins his journey to chase volcanic rage across Iceland, to have a chance to capture the full spectacle when nature is angry.

This is one of the impressive Holm images recorded when venturing into active volcanic areas.In return, Holm grasped the entire eruption at all stages, since the first cloud of ash had shot into the air, the flow of lava flowed up to the silence behind every volcano.
