The Volcano Took the Day Off

We climbed up to a spot from which you can see the Geldingadalir volcano in Iceland - except that it was taking the day off. No lava bombs, no fleeing villagers. Sigh. Also posted below are photos of the masses of people hiking up to the same spot, the warning siren that goes off when there is a gas alert, and a close-up of the lava in the valley.
