  • Im not gay, but i would marry this man :)

  • @ExtremeBogom You're SO Right! It's a Shame that Synthesizers have NO Place in TV anymore, & when they are in Songs.. They always have to be Loud & Rough. My Respect is handed to you Sir.

    If anyone's interested, there has just been a Harmonic Tremour at KATLA in Iceland. If it Erupts, we could see the Largest Eruption This side of the Century.

  • The synthesizer at 3:00...couldn't be more fitting.

  • The 'columner' basalt at around 2:40 is the same stuff that the Giant's Causeway in Ireland is formed from... only a long time ago :)

  • Totally beautiful in the extreme!

  • They all talk about a "Dramatic' eruption, what is Dramatic?

    No one hurts, it's just "nature" calling, that's all !

  • i live in iceland ! :D

  • it was such a small baby volcano, couldn't even be bothered to look at it... but yeah its fimmvörðuháls not eyjafjallajökull

  • So cool. It is so violent this Iceland volcano. I can not pronounce it but it is

    Eyjafjallajökull.

  • Lava is so violent and dangerous... it's like the earth's blood. I was fascinated as a kid, and I'm fascinated revisiting it now.

    Why don't you hear of more people traveling to see volcanoes back in the old days? Nowadays we have videos, but if I saw this back then, I'd be telling people that your life isn't complete until you've witnessed what exists inside the earth.
