The unprecedented spectacle of volcanoes in Iceland

The rock with a mass of thousands of tons rolled down because of the wrath of Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland, and the vast night seemed to be torn apart by the giant flashes on the crater.

Eyjafjallajokull volcano began to wake up in March, spraying dust, lava and hot air that worried the world. While many people can only observe its eruption through television and report it to Ragnar Th. Sigurdsson, a British photographer, flew to the volcano to take pictures. Among the tens of thousands of photos Sigurdsson has taken, there are many scenes that the public has never seen. Those photos were gathered in a book about the newly published Eyjafjallajokull volcano.

Ash, lava and lightning appeared on the top of Eyjafjallajokull volcano on a day in March. The crater is 4 km long and 2.9 km wide.From March 3 to March 5, nearly 3,000 earthquakes occurred at the center of the volcano.
