Frightening as it may look yet it also looks incredibly beautiful in a dark sort of way.

Iceland's Fagradalsfjall volcano has not spewed lava since September 18, the day it became the country's longest eruption in 50 years, but scientists say it's too early to call the eruption over.
Lava began flowing out of a fissure in the ground on the evening of March 19 on the Reykjanes peninsula to the southwest of Reykjavik, a spectacle that quickly became a major tourist attraction.
