Tourists and other onlookers watch as lava flows from a tunnel near the crater in Geldingadalir valley, southwest of Iceland's capital Reykjavik on September 15, 2021. - Slowly oozing at times, then spurting like a geyser and spitting rocks at others, a volcanic eruption near Reykjavik is still going strong six months after lava began flowing, Iceland's longest eruption since the 1960s. While thousands of curious onlookers have been captivated by the mesmerizing spectacle playing out near Mount Fagradalsfjall since March 19 -- Iceland's sixth eruption in 20 years -- experts say a six-month eruption is not extraordinary. Now officially named Fagradalshraun, or 'beautiful valley of lava' after the nearby Mount Fagradalsfjall, the volcano rose up from a fissure in the ground. It has so far spewed out almost 143 million cubic metres of lava. (Photo by Jeremie RICHARD / AFP)
