21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Dragon´s Eye
An eye of lava and fire. Aerial view of the Litli-Hrútur volcano crater during eruption (July 2023), Iceland. The fissure crater is surrounded by a hardened lava layer, which seems rock solid but full of lava beneath. The lava flows unto a small tunnel and out to a river of lava. The smoke is lit by the intense brightness of the lava.
