The eruption site is the best classroom - video

Tens of thousands have hiked to the Geldignagardalir in Reykjanes in the last few days to see the eruption that began on Friday 19 March. Among them a group of a 100 students in geology that hiked to the eruption site in excellent weather earlier in the week guided by earth scientists at the University of Iceland.

"This is so much more amazing in person than I could have even imagined," says Bethany Wanderhoof, master student in geophysics. Bethany and Charlotte Barlow, master student in earth sciences, are very grateful to be studying at the University of Iceland at this point in time as you can see in the video below.
