Icelandic volcano roars back to life after 6,000 years
Iceland's Fagradalshraun volcano lies quiet for a spell before suddenly spewing red molten lava geysers high into the air, visible from the capital Reykjavik in an awe-inspiring display
The volcano, which sprang into life in mid-March in the Geldingadalir valley near Mount Fagradalsfjall, has drawn visitors from around the world
Vulcanologists have predicted that the activity will continue for several months - if not decades. But they are certain that the eruption is far from superficial, coming from the Earth's crust
This is the most primitive lava that we have seen since the last Ice Age
