Aerial footage of Tuff ring volcano of Hverfjall in northern Iceland

Sleeping Giant of the North.

This video clip shows an amazing view from above of the Hverfjall volcano in northern Iceland. You can see the huge, perfectly round crater, with its steep, dark slopes made of volcanic ash and rocks. The texture of the ground is clearly visible, with lots of ridges and grooves that look really dramatic. Around the volcano, the land is mostly flat with some patches of green plants, which stand out against the dark volcanic soil. In the distance, you can spot mountains and a body of water under a clear blue sky. It’s a stunning footage, showing off the raw and stark beauty of Iceland’s volcanic landscape.

Tuff ring volcanoes, a fascinating geological feature, are common in Iceland, a country known for its volcanic activity. A tuff ring volcano is formed through phreatomagmatic eruptions and is a type of volcanic cone made of tephra and ash. These eruptions happen when groundwater or seawater explosively interacts with lava, causing fragmented material to be ejected and settle around the vent, creating a ring-shaped formation. One of the most notable tuff ring volcanoes in Iceland is Hverfjall, near Mývatn in the north. Estimated to have formed around 2,500 years ago, Hverfjall's well-defined tuff ring is a prime example of this volcanic structure.
