Grimsvötn Iceland filmed in helicopter.

Just a beautiful video, just for pleasure of eyes. It's amazing to see the nature force.

I'm really fascinated about eruptions. I saw two or three eruptions in my life (Piton de La Fournaise,one of the most active volcanoes in the world, saw one of the eruptions entering sea : www.google.com...)
But explosive volcanoes are more impressive i think. So i would like to share this video for you, thanks to those who are sharing this passion

PS : anyone know the name of the first music ?

Thanks for sharing, friend. My 6 yo daughter will be really happy to watch this (she became crazy about volcanoes and earthquakes after the Japan quake and after an excursion on Mount Vesuvius in Naples, IT)

Also in the Grimsvotn eruption there are electrical phenomena, is it something common to all eruptions?

She is welcome. We have to see those impressive events.
And lightnings, yes it's common with explosive volcanoes :
Ashes are charged in electricity and this cloud can be decharged like thunders.
Here is a link : the site is in french but picture is in english (descrption of the picture). Move down and stop when you see four pictures in one.

Incredible. Beautiful. And just straight out mother nature at its best.

Thanks for sharing.

Mother nature can be destructive and stunning at the same time =]

Amazing Video Awesome thank you,

There was a good programme on BBC just 2 weeks ago:

Julia Bradbury heads for Iceland to embark on the toughest walk of her life. Her challenge is to walk the 60 kilometres of Iceland's most famous hiking route, a trail that just happens to end at the unpronounceable volcano that brought air traffic across Europe to a standstill in 2010 . With the help of Icelandic mountain guide Hanna, Julia faces daunting mountain climbs, red hot lava fields, freezing river crossings, deadly clouds of sulphuric gas, swirling ash deserts and sinister Nordic ghost stories as she attempts to reach the huge volcanic crater at the centre of the Eyjafjallajökull glacier.

She also got closer with the camera crew on the end to the crater of last years eruptions again stunning photography.

Closest person to it since eruption amazing have a peek:
