Iceland volcano: Tourist climbs dangerously close to molten lava

Tourists have rushed to the edge of the active volcano in Iceland which is spewing out molten lava after it erupted for the first time in 6,000 years this week. Crowds gathered around Fagradalsfjall, a mountain on the Reykjanes Peninsula, on Sunday to watch the incredible natural phenomenon. Streams of red lava bubbled and flowed out of a fissure in a valley in Geldingadalur on the southwest of the island in the rare sight. The eruption occurred on Friday around GMT, lighting up the night sky with a crimson glow as hundreds of small earthquakes shook the area.
