Eyjafjallajökull Volcano Time-Lapse Video Will Blow You Away (The One)

The One

Just when you thought you were done hearing about the eruption of Mount Impossible-to-Pronounce -- I mean, Eyjafjallajökull -- in Iceland, there's a new reason to revisit it. Photographer Sean Stiegemeier wasn't impressed by the quality of the photos coming out of the eruption, so he went there himself and took some mind-blowing time-lapse shots.

The result is a seriously impressive time-lapse video of the volcano that will seriously flabbergast you. Although Sean missed the main eruption, with lightning and lava, he managed to get some of the best shots I've seen of the smoking volcano and the surrounding area.

Check out the video after the jump, but be aware that you're probably going to want to click through to Vimeo and watch it in HD.

Whoa, that is a LOT of ash! @_x No wonder air traffic had to be grounded in the UK!

Query, what's the song that was used in this video? Sounds a lot like Sigur Ros, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the clue! Yes, this is Sigur Ros with a song entitled "Saeglopur."

- The time for Katla to erupt is coming close... VIDEO (07.05.2010): Evgenia Ilynskaya (Geography Department, Cambridge): "Eyjafjallajokull, by erupting, sends off some kind of vibrations... pushes Katla to erupt"... The President of Iceland warned that a second "much bigger" volcano is set to erupt... if Katla blows, it could have devastating consequences worldwide:
