Today, one day after #VolcanoThursday some stairs made of #basalt columns 🐾 Our humans found them during #hedgewatch in #Iceland 😻 These patterns formed during the cooling of #basaltic #lava

Today is #VolcanoThursday 😻🌋 Last time in #Iceland we couldn't reach the summit of #Hekla due to #Icelandic #weather conditions. So we went to the @LavaCentre and took a virtual tour

Today is #VolcanoThursday. Lately #earthquake swarms occurred on #Tenerife. Upflift since 2023 is 1 cm. That’s supawfast in #geology! The #volcano #PicoViejo on Teides W-shoulder erupted in 1798. Last #eruption was #ElChinyero in 1909. Paws crossed for NO bad news

Today is #VolcanoThursday 😻, but today it's about this wonderful #flower that we found during #hedgewatch on #Tenerife. It's a #Canarina canariensis. This beautiful flower is pollinated by a #bird 🙀 the #Canary Islands #chiffchaff 😻Pawsome🐾
Today is #VolcanoThursday 😻 During #hedgewatch on #Tenerife I found this #lava piece with bubbles. #Magma contains gas & when it travels to the surface it cools down & pressure drops so the gas is released & makes bubbles.

Today is the 1st #VolcanoThursday of 2025. This is the #Orotava #valley on #Tenerife formed by a gigantic #landslide. The island was growing so fast that its flanks became unstable & collapsed. At least 500 km3 #rock's moved down causing a #tsunami

This #VolcanoThursday is the 61th birthday of Surtsey a #volcanic island 30km S of #Iceland. It's named after Surtr a fire giant in northern mythology. The eruption ended June 1967. Only scientists are allowed to #hedgewatch there
Today we are again on #Lanzarote for #VolcanoThursday. This place is called #CiudadEstratificada-#StratifiedCity. Its a bizzare #landscape purrfect for #hedgewatch & made of layers of #volcanic ash. The layers #weathering resistance is varying - thus the shapes.
