Iceland Volcano Eruption early 70's rare footage

I remember this footage very well. It was used in a lot of the volcano films back in the 70's. I sure wouldn't want to wake up to something like that going on.

amazing footage
I'm in Iceland at the moment .... can't imagine what it's like to live in constant fear for volcano's ...

Well, you might, but people here don't live in constant fear of volcanoes.

There are 3 volcanoes within a 26 km radius of me..
OH MAH GAAAAHD, IAM SO SCAAARRD
No, actually of these three the last major eruption was in 1341.
What did the vikings do? They said: Oh.. An eruption. How nice!- And then they kept on doing whatever they were already doing.. Like drying fish or something.

:D

I have been there a few times, its an awesome place. I am English but I live in Reykjavik

i live there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw a documentary of Iceland where they showed an area where lava and ice got toghether.

Which is that area's name?

yeah it is...i climbed eldfjell in october on a geology trip to iceland :) its amaing that the ground at the top is still warm from this eruption. its very surreal.
