We’re terribly spoiled these days when it comes to footage of lava and volcanic eruptions. Back when I started FYFD, I could find very few decent photos of lava flows to illustrate posts. And now, thanks to drone cameras, we have a glut of absolutely gorgeous footage of flowing lava. This particular example comes from photographer Jan Erik Waider, who specializes in the ice, fire, and flows of northern landscapes.
Waider’s lens offers us a detailed, almost abstract view of these rivers of lava. I especially enjoy his shots looking directly down on lava. Watching the cooled rock rafting along on the lava is like seeing a fiery version of sea ice floes. (Video and image credit: J. Waider; via Laughing Squid)
