Over the course of human history, volcanic eruptions have typically fallen into one of two categories. They're either relatively mild and fascinating to watch from a safe distance or tragic, cataclysmic events that lead to the loss of many lives and a lot of destruction. The eruption of Fagradalsfjall, a volcano located in Iceland near the capital city of Reykjavik over the weekend thankfully fell into the former category. Locals had been anticipating an eruption, as the long-dormant volcano was showing signs that it was ready to blow its top for the first time in 800-or-so years, and while you wouldn't want to stand right next to the thing, the ongoing eruption has been fairly calm.

The volcano has puked up a whole bunch of red-hot molten rock which has flowed forth and covered a wide area. Visitors to the site have kept their distance (and even set up a live stream so you can watch it happen in real time), but once intrepid Icelander decided to get as close as he possibly could with the help of a drone. The footage he collected is truly remarkable.
