On the ground in what has become a very active volcanic area, photographer Chris Burkard explains what it was like photographing for National Geographic as Iceland experienced its second eruption in as many years.

“I actually didn’t have my usual full kit of gear with me when the eruption started but I had enough to make it work and wasted no time worrying about what I had and didn’t have. Shooting on the ground with my camera is a great way to shoot the up close details of the volcano and the lava, as well as to document the more intimate experience of humans interacting with nature and the eruption,” He says.

As is the case with most shoots, photographing the eruption came with its own unique set of challenges. Burkard says that in this case, understanding what was safe and what wasn’t was the biggest challenge, specifically when it came to where he could stand.
