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.
