This might be the scariest footage from an Icelandic volcano in action but it was recorded during the 11 month eruption in Hekla In 19471948. This is the volcano that sent 20 kg of rock over 30 kilometres like a cannonball and one Icelandic scientist was fatally injured as he was recording the event you see in this video. Not only can Hekla produce fire fountains, explosive ejection of rocks, but also hot and devastating pyroclastic flows.
Note that I do not discuss geological theories on my channel because I do not have the education not the training to do so on professional basis. So those who want to dive deep into the mysteries of the volcano Hekla from a scientific point of view are advised to start on the link below, and continue on the web because there is plenty of good information about there.
My role is as usual to find, edit and make good but sometimes old footage available in English, bring you news of major events and explain how Icelanders work with or against the forces of nature that sometimes takes the control from us. I will also show you photo's and video's from my growing collection of geological formations in Iceland.

Channel support:
I appreciate all support since it's no easy task for me to work in this limited market from Iceland but it's a long term thinking behind the channel so i don't complain so much.
Channel support is however highly appreciated and need to help me to cover travel expenses going after footage for the channel.
