Stunning images from the volcanic eruption in Holuhraun at sunrise

By Bjarki Ármannsson
The Icelandic Met Office has lowered its aviation warning near Bardarbunga volcano from red to orange. The eruption that started in the Holuhraun lava field around midnight last night is not considered a risk to international flight plans.

Our cameraman, Hörður Finnbogason, captured these stunning images of the eruption in Holuhraun just after sunrise this morning. It is plain to see that volcanic activity has decreased considerably since the eruption started. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and many roads north of the volcano are still closed.
