THIS extraordinary aerial shot of an ongoing volcanic eruption near the city of Reykjavik in Iceland encapsulates the natural phenomenon’s beauty and destructive power.

Photojournalist Brian Emfinger used a drone to capture the image of bubbling hot lava flowing out of the Fagradalsfjall volcano. It first erupted on 19 March and has since attracted numerous awe-struck spectators. This fissure in the volcano – the fourth to appear during this series of eruptions – began to ooze lava in the early hours of 9 April, resulting in the scorching blanket of molten rock seen in this image.
