Hekla Volcano is located in southern Iceland. It is built on a 5 km long fissure. Hekla is the most active volcano in Iceland, and one of the world's best known volcanoes.
The magma reservoir feeding Hekla is located at a depth of 5-9 km. During non-eruptive periods the volcano is virtually aseismic. Eruption-related seismicity starts only 30-80 minutes before its onset. Hundreds of small volcano-tectonic earthquakes (magnitude < 3), related to the intrusion of magma, occur during the first hours, when the eruption is violent and explosive.
An eruption in 1104, devastated the inhabited Thjorsardalur valley. The eruption produced 2.5 cubic km of tephra, which was carried towards NNW.

Nice presentation. Like the atmosphere of this place. The view looks fantastic. I can see that house very close to the volcano.

An interesting landscape shot - I love the contrast in size between the mountain and the house. The composition does feel a bit too central, with three very distinct layers and I'm not sure that all of the foreground space is necessary.
Thanks for sharing
