Luckily my photo assistant @joelbarger_ who’s been busting his butt opening our gallery in Reykjavik was nearby. Sometimes I find it even more special to share in someone else’s witnessing something as powerful as this for the first time instead of documenting it myself. Grateful to be able to share his first views here “After a series of frequent earthquakes heralding the arrival of another volcano on the Reykjanes Penninsula, I found myself crammed in the backseat of an SUV speeding towards the new eruption site to document it on behalf of @chrisburkard for @lavashowiceland & @rvkgrapevine A 9km hike lay between us on the volcano due to the road closure, so we shouldered our bags and started jogging. Despite dense fog rolling over the hills, I crested the top and couldn’t miss the orange glow of the eruption visible about 2km away. Every step closer felt like a entrance into a dream state, mesmerized by the dancing of magma shooting over 20meters in the air in some places. Fortunately for me, a strong wind blew at my back keeping dangerous gasses away. Even so, ISAR warned us to vacate the area soon after shooting some photos with the expectation that winds could shift and the gas could prove hazardous, even deadly to visitors. The fissure is over 1km long, 10-15 times the size of the previous year’s eruptions and shook the ground at our feet in a powerful rumble… serving as a reminder of the sheer magnitude of new earth surfacing from below. Around 1:30AM, the police arrived and started directing everyone to leave, conditions deteriorating. I could have stayed for hours, feeling absolutely no sense of time and fatigue, just literal awe and exhilaration at the foot of an active volcano.”」7月11日 23時30分
