A portmanteau of "volcanic" and "smog", this eerie veil was created by gas from a #volcano.

The eruption releases steam, as well as carbon dioxide (CO₂), sulphur dioxide (SO₂), hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) and other gases.

In this shot, the gas has reached the sea by crossing Vatnajökull glacier, cooling it. The steam has condensed out, the sulphurous oxides have formed a high, blue haze and the heavier sulphides have formed a layer above the water surface.

A photo of a landscape. In the foreground is the dark silhouette of a coastline and promontory, and the sea is filling the rest of the bottom third of the shot. The sky is fairly clear cyan except for a few unusual exceptions. The first is at the top of the photo, there is a strange, wispy veil looking like pale blue chiffon. At the very top of the shot, where it becomes more dense, there is a slight yellowish tinge to it. On the horizon, immediately above the sea there is what looks like a slightly opaque layer of thin cloud. This is actually a heavier gas which has settled above the surface of the sea. The water is reflecting sunlight centre left, but it's yellowish and odd.
