Stunning Video Of Iceland's Massive Lava-Fountain Lake
While Iceland's serene landscape may be the perfect analogy for world markets currently, the eruption of its Bardarbunga volcano shows what fierce reality lies just beneath the surface. Capitalism and free markets will always find away though, and as RT reports, one travel company is cashing in on the incredible awe-inspiring images by offering tours over the volcano at a height of around 150 meters. As the following stunning clip shows, at $920, it may well be the trip of a lifetime...

Stunning images from #Bardarbunga #Volcano. Over nine sq.km of lava arround the eruption. http://t.co/HokEvF1Wsx pic.twitter.com/FUfnFp019s

And finally... mind-blowing images of lava fountains... (coming to the Bellagio soon?)

Whoa, look at all that pollution escaping into the atmosphere....might be some green house gasses there. We need to report this to the UN so they can impose a fucking tax on Iceland.
Gore to mother nature,
"You buy some credits for that?"
RIPS
Not enough credits available.
Phone Obama, we need legislation banning these eruptions.
Best $920 I never spent.
Thank You
Even Aliens Are Impressed...
Iceland? I thought this was current footage from Scotland
RT = russian propaganda
wtf is it doing on Zero Hedge
MONEY MONEY MONAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.MONEEEEY.
Second article about this in the last week. Interesting, but not exactly a ZH type of article.
Somebody in ZH must have gotten some data from Google that indicated ZH'ers might be interested in this. I'm a big fan of lava flows and I have NO problem with CO2. Doesn't mean this is what I want to read about here.
One of the ZH'ers is a eruption fan... just be glad he doesn't want to show us his dinosaur fossils.
You're an hour short of a being here for a week, so I'd say... WTF are you doing here running your propaganda mouth?
Who wants s'mores?
@Rubbish
IF you do earn it easily and much more like those within the inner circles of the bankstering sector you'll be more than happy to spend that drop to enjoy the beautiful lava fountains along with some sips of the most exquisite cognac lol
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Learn to swim.
Fuck L Ron Hubbard and Fuck all his clones Fuck all these gun-toting Hip gangster wannabes

Time to escalate the war on the weather! Obummer should send 100 or so marines to iceland as 'climate advisers'.
Can we throw Gore into that volcano to appease the Gods? Please, please, please? With all that fat, it should make for quite the pyrotechnics.
Gore hasn't said shit about Fukishima, GE and the japs polluted an entire ocean. Funny how things work.
The EU needs to impose sanctions against Iceland.
It is all part of the natural carbon cycle. The cycle is what makes earth liveable. Subduction takes fossil carbon into the earth. Volcanoes release it back. Hint, global warming is the breaking of this natural cycle. Carbon that should stay in the earth, is dug up and released. Thus the natural cycle is broken. Of course simple physics is clearly not ZH's strong suit on the comments section. Sadly, you are just plain wrong, and I never feel the least bit worried about pointing it out. In fact, I will go further, global warming is already runaway. Meaning, it will not be stopped. We are 50 years ahead of predictions made a decade ago. So yes, the models were wrong, they were way wrong on the conservative side. Global warming is much more real than 90% of climate science dared admit. Stay tuned, I am 100% sure events will continue to prove me right. So lets revisit this subject frequently. I am more than up for it.
In da '70's, wudn't dese wack jobs was talkin' 'bout global coolin', wut happen?

Jail your bankers and watch your country return to growth.
Or we could sacrifice them to the volcano.
Or we could let supply and demand take care of the problems.
Is that where Iceland put all its bankers?
"Dimon and Blankfein in their true forms, in that lava flow, screaming in agony". ( sorry, I nodded off there)
Send in the Amerikan Drones and Marines to secure the crap. Since they cannot fix theor own problems lets see if the cuskers fix anything else. Helpless Amerikans

All I can think is "Wouldn't it be great if we could capture and use all those BTUs".
Somedays I have too much technology on my mind.
But it really is beautiful.
Iceland does make use of geothermal energy, as it so happens. One of the few places in the world where it is practical to do so.
Having lived in Spokane during the Mt St Helens eruption, I can't tell you how incredible it is to drive home in pouring ash in the afternoon in the pitch black. Car after car died around us as we were trying to make it before our did as well. Finally, fearing the worst, we stopped at a college friend's apartment who was a Saudi to, hopefully, wait it out. When he let us in he was laughing at us. " You silly Americans, a little sand storm and you guys are in a panic"
Miffed;-)
I went through one is Alaska, throwing heavy black ash. Indeed, it really wakes you up to the power of earth's natural forces.
Dont mess with Iceland!
Shit, Iceland was on my escape list, what with the way they dealt with their bankers and their isolated location on the map. But molten lava on my porch? No thank you. Any safe places in the States left ?
On second thought, never mind, I'll try South America first. Or Sierra Leone.
Do you anticipate that real long winter?...FREE HEAT!!
don't know about food & water, so plan accordingly
Putin
That evil Putin is invading Iceland now.
Can't you see the columns of Russian flamethrowers?
Listen, "THIS IS STUNNING" video!
Great stuff here as well:

This site shows a video of the current "action" as well as all the earthquakes.. and, IF your computer is up to the task will take you to another window and show you the earthquake locations in 3D
I thought I saw smoke coming from the crater Friday on 3dBulge. The 3D version kicked the fan noise on my computer up about 30dB.
I like seeing underwater images of lava flows into the ocean. Huge steam bubbles form around them, fueled by intense heat released by the flow. But, once the bubbles reach a critical point they start condensing and instantly collapse inward. The surrounding water smacks into itself with the explosive force of a grenade.
Hey look, there’s another analogy to our world economy today.
uea the video of that stuff is AWESOME. cavitation from super pressure steam resulting from the submarine volcanoes is a sonar 'thing' and can be used to define where volcanoes are by sound.
it always amazes me how the vast majority, VAST majority of ALL volcanic activity is below the surface of the earth and yet we know so very little about it. pretty much , once you go beyond a few hundred meters deep, it gets exponentially more difficult to study and observe the oceanic ennironemnet. and it's not so cheap either to study it , even below 5 meters of water.
ultimately, a huge treasure trove of unknown remains to be explored and it can only realistically be explored remoted with unmanned vehicles. we are getting closer and closer to building the kinds of vehicles that can explore the deep at a rapid pace. we're not there yet, as our existing vehicles are expensive and slow, but we'll soon beo getting there.
Surtur is Rising!

Seeing this video from the perspective of RT as a propaganda medium, I doubt they would take all the work to go and film that eruption just to show it to their people, looks more like a "warning" or some subtle stuff is going on here.
Yellowstone maybe?
"their people"
wtf?!
you do know that RT target audience is the english-speaking world. right?
in any case, if you want proper volcano updates: http://www.jonfr.com/volcano/
and yes, this could be a big one.
yellowstone maybe not.
another site for volcano info
