The Earth ARTery through a volcano

by Alberto Caracciolo

Streams of molten rock carve intricate patterns, resembling strokes of an artist's brush, like in a piece of ART. Solidified pieces of lava add texture to the scene, contrasting with the fluid motion of the lava below. This lava river reflect the main ARTery of Sundhnúkar volcano, in southwest Iceland. This captivating video shows the dynamic beauty and raw power of Earth's volcanic activity, next to the capital area of Iceland.
