Beautiful, terrifying and mesmerizing footage from the volcanic eruption in Iceland. I watched it all and wondered at what point do you yell “Let’s get the hell out of here!”
It’s tricky, maybe impossible to gauge the distance between the camera which took video #1 and the actual volcano. Clearly, there is a ridge, then a valley in between same. These things are distorted by perspective, etc;
I can easily say that a hardhat will not protect you from a rock the size of any one of: washing machine, car, bus, or house coming down on your head from several hundred feet in the air!
