Hundreds of people have flocked to the site of a roaring volcano to stand just a few feet from the searing lava spewing from a monster eruption in Iceland.
Officials on the Scandinavian island have warned tourists to steer clear after lethal levels of toxic gases were recorded on the rugged Reykjanes peninsula.
A similar eruption in 2021 drew enormous crowds of hundreds of thousands over the months that its lava continued to flow.
