Geologist Ólafur Íngólfsson joins us on another trip to the Fagradalsfjall eruption site in Iceland. Íngólfsson talks about the new developments of the volcano as of May 21 and explains how the volcano acts like a geyser now.

The Fagradalsfjall volcano started erupting on March 19, 2021. Now, two months later we see how the area has developed.
