On March 19, the Geldingadalur region of Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula gained a new volcano. While not the explosive, ash-spewing spectacles of the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull or 2011 Grímsvötn eruptions that clouded the sky and disrupted air travel, the bubbling, flowing Fagradalsfjall volcano has nevertheless captured the imagination of locals and visitors alike, who flocked to the erupting fissure. UC Santa Barbara geology professor Matthew Jackson was one of those people. Jackson has been working in Iceland for nearly 20 years, and a recent research trip put him in the right place at the right time to catch this latest eruption.
