Stunning photos have emerged of the Iceland volcano eruption, showing red-hot lava flying above the Bardarbunga volcano, which erupted on Friday, followed by a larger eruption on Sunday.

According to the Mirror, a photographer captured spewing lava reaching heights of 100 feet and temperatures of up to 1,200 degrees over the 200-year-old Holuhraun lava field, between the Bardarbunga and the Askja volcanoes. The eruption has a flow rate of 15.9 million gallons per minute.

Brave photographer Einar Guddman flew for two-and-a-half hours to reach the dangerous eruption site, the Mirror reports.

Lava has been spurting from a crack north of the Bardarbunga volcano since an eruption occurred on Friday, followed by a larger eruption on Sunday. Sunday was the third time in a week that Iceland issued a red alert for aviation due to seismic activity at the peak, News.com.au reports.

However, flights have not yet been affected by the Iceland volcano eruption, thanks to a lack of ash in the sky.

According to Yahoo! Travel, officials initially raised the aviation warning to red, in fear of an ash cloud restricting visibility.

"A white plume of steam and gas rose from the eruption site, however no ash fall was detected. This prompted officials to reduce the aviation warning level to orange. As of now, no commercial flights have been affected," Yahoo! Travel reports.

This ash-less eruption is good news for travelers, who may be nervous after the Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted in 2010, creating a dangerous ash cloud that canceled thousands of flights, costing the aviation industry nearly $1.7 billion.
