The vol­cano attracts thou­sands of tourists who are not afraid of get­ting hurt or burnt in the lava fields or being poi­soned by tox­ic gas­es. The vol­cano’s cone ris­es 224 meters above the sur­round­ing ter­rain. The entire space around it is cov­ered with solid­i­fied mag­ma, and lava flows out of the crater, 334 m in diam­e­ter. Some­times, it is a slow and lazy stream, and some­times — burst­ing like a geyser. The lat­ter is just a fas­ci­nat­ing spec­ta­cle, awe-inspir­ing to all onlook­ers. But since clouds of tox­ic fumes ran­dom­ly change direc­tion accord­ing to the wind, those who want to admire them up close should choose care­ful­ly from which side to approach Fagradals­fjädl.
