Today, we took to the skies with Norðurflug Helicopter Tours to check out the eruption at Geldingadalur from a new view. It was Culture Editor Hannah Jane’s first time at the volcano and to call it a spiritual experience for her would be an understatement.

Thank you so much to Norðurflug for taking us!

Note: Due to the effect the Coronavirus is having on tourism in Iceland, it’s become increasingly difficult for the Grapevine to survive. If you enjoy our content and want to help the Grapevine’s journalists do things like eat and pay rent, please consider joining our High Five Club.
