On the night of November 20-21, a new volcanic eruption awakened the Reykjanes peninsula. This was the seventh eruption in the region in the space of a year. The lava engulfed some roads, the parking lot at the Blue Lagoon tourist site and a building used to store visitors' luggage.

The recent volcanic eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula became a surreal sight for those visiting the Blue Lagoon. Shared by Brandon, this captivating footage shows the night sky illuminated by fountains of lava rising from the eruption site.

Drone photographer Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove flew over the fissure caused by the volcano in the early hours of 21 November, filming the lava flow, which, according to the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO), covered at least 7 square kilometres. The IMO has raised hazard levels, but activity has since reduced.
