In Reykjadalur brodelt die Erde an vielen Stellen. Heiße Quellen und Mudpots sind faszinierend, aber auch gefährlich. Die Erdkruste ist an manchen Stellen extrem dünn und instabil. Ein kochender Fußabdruck in der Nähe eines Mudpots erinnert eindrücklich daran, wie wichtig es ist, stets auf den markierten Wegen zu bleiben.

Interesting summary of the ongoing saga of the moving mud pot in Niland, near the Salton Sea in Southern California. I had just started a geophysics project in that area when I left my faculty position, it would have been fun to try and figure this out!

Well, I didn't have anywhere to go on Thanksgiving, so I wrote a blog post about the roving mud spring of Salton Sea that has been eating railroads, roads and anything else in its path.

Someone here posted about it, so I had to go see it for myself when I was in the area a week ago. I have "a thing" for weird geology.

The Meandering Mud Pot - Mikal Jakubal

In 2015, in a nondescript piece of desert near Salton Sea in far SE California, a bubbling mud pot did something unprecedented: it started moving across the desert at a before-your-very-eyes pace, snacking on a railroad line, regional highway, oil pipelines and fiber optic cables that foolishly crossed its path.

Simbalito on #GrandTour in #Iceland. We also visited the #geothermal field #Namafjall with many hot springs and #mudpot's during a #hike/#hedgewatch. Can you smell it?
