Close-up footage of the crater at Eyjafjallajökull. You can see red glowing lava as well as volcanic bombs flying through the air. If you watch carefully you can even see the shockwaves of the eruptions in the ash cloud.

UPDATE 06/05/2010

The UK Met Office has released a vivid series of images that show the Eyjafjallajokull volcano intensifying. In the satellite pictures, which use infrared wavelengths, the ash plume appears as bright orange colours spreading out from the volcano.

The plume gradually increased in size over a period of approximately six hours on Thursday morning. This animation is made up of a series of 13 images captured every 30 minutes from 0600 BST. The Met Office confirmed that activity from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano had been increasing since Wednesday night, taking the ash plume to a height over 30,000 ft.

But the UK's air traffic control authority, Nats, said that the high density area of the volcanic ash cloud was now lying "off the west of Ireland" and that, as a result there were currently no restrictions within UK airspace.

A Met Office spokesperson also said that the winds forecast over the next few days were likely "to keep the plume out to the west".
