OTD 5 yrs ago, I hiked out to Fagradalsfjall at 2am. Just after sunrise, the last few people left. I was completely alone, face-to-face with the erupting volcano, its warmth on my skin. Unquestionably the most surreal experience I've had. I never felt more connected to...everything. #Photography

A wide-angle image of an erupting volcano with a tall lava fountain on the left as the Sun first rises over the hills on the right. A river of bright orange lava pours out of the volcano and streams horizontally across the center of the landscape, which is primarily covered in black solidified lava. Gases rise from the volcano and into the partly cloudy, pastel-colored sky above.
