Vogar my small Home town with Geldingadalir Volcanic Eruption in the background

Vogar municipality formerly Vatnsleysustrandahreppur is a municipality in the north of Reykjanes peninsula. Most residents apply thee work elsewhere, for example to Reykjavík or Keflavík, but before that, the business world was mostly based on seafaring. In the municipality is the settlement Vogar, where there are c.a. 1,300 people. The bay the village stands in is called Vogavík but the village was formerly called Kvíguvogar and Vogastapi, south of the village was called Kvíguvogabjörg. In Stakksfjörður off Vogastapi there were good fishing grounds called Gullkistan. Vogar are 14km away from Reykjanesbær and 25km away from Hafnarfjordur. Most residents live in the town center Vogar but around 150 people in rural areas.

Geldingadalir are deep valleys with a wide lawn on the Reykjanes peninsula, near Fagradalsfjall. There is a small hill (well it was there) on the field and it is said that Ísólfur at Skála is buried there. He wanted to be buried in the valley where his sheep were so well off.

  On the evening of March 19, 2021, an eruption began from a fissure in the valleys, the first eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula in 800 years.

I set the drone up in the air from my sundeck in Vogar to see what the eruption was like this morning. This is what I got in through the lens.
