Other Hekla images and some information on the WWW can be found at
Nordic Volcanological Institute, Iceland (one aerial photo, possibly post 1991),
Rangárvallahreppur, Iceland (with images of Hekla's 1970 eruption, but some links to images were not working on 29 June 1996: right URL for the 1970 eruption photo should be http://www.smart.is/rang/mysma/rang-70.jpg),
The 1991 eruption of Hekla is beautifully featured by Icelandic photographer Ragnar Th. Sigurdsson: Photo 1 (with Icelandic caption) and Photo 2 (English caption, but date should be 1991, not 1992)
