"Fall into a burning curtain of fire with fissure eruptions" by @USGSVolcanoes #California #Volcano🌋 Observatory talks about fissure eruptions like #Iceland #LitliHrutur where lava erupted from faults & cracks.

Fall into a burning (curtain) of fire with fissure eruptions | U.S. Geological Survey

If you've been following the latest geological news, you'll have noticed the brand new eruption on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula. It's a classic example of an eruption of relatively fluid lava simultaneously at multiple points along a fissure in the earth, resulting in "curtains of fire". These fascinating phenomena provide a spectacular glimpse into the geologic processes driving eruptions.

An eruption began between Stóra Skógfell and Sýlingarfell at 12:45 on May 29, 2024, sending a curtain of lava spewing into the air.

When looking for live webcam views of Sýlingafell eruption, look for Icelandic sources such as RUV or MBL. Many are repeating their streams to show ads. Lava flow threatening Grindavik town and a US Navy radio tower. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_wRajP-7bg #Reykjanes #Iceland #volcano🌋 #geology

"The eruption has no impact on air traffic" by MBL @IcelandMonitor - After precautionary use of aviation code red, it was verified the eruption is not producing ash which could damage jets. https://icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/news/2024/05/29/the_eruption_has_no_impact_on_air_traffic/ #Reykjanes #Iceland #volcano🌋 #geology #aviation #travel #avgeek
The eruption has no impact on air traffic

This latest eruption, and the 8th that has occurred on the Reykjanes peninsula, does not affect air traffic, even though the international airport is relatively close by.

New eruption status updates from #Iceland Meteorology Office IMO on new #Reykjanes eruption near Svartsengi geothermal power plant. Lava flow has overrun north-south highway between Grindavik and Keflavik, 5th time in past year. Power lines to Keflavik Airport also overrun by lava, but airport has other sources. Hot water pipeline OK, now deeper underground. Lava levee wall successfully protecting the power plant and Blue Lagoon tourist site so far. https://en.vedur.is/about-imo/news/eruption-begins-on-the-sundhnukur-fissure-swarm #volcano🌋 #geology

"Keflavik International Airport Not Affected by Volcanic Eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula" by Keflavik Int'l Airport #BIKF/#KEF - Flights at #Iceland's international airport are not affected by the eruption. It is currently not producing ash. (While travelers should not ignore the lava eruption 11km SE of the airport, North Atlantic winter weather remains the top planning issue for potential delays.) https://www.kefairport.com/news/keflavik-international-airport-not-affected-by-volcanic-eruption-on-the-reykjanes-peninsula #Reykjanes #Iceland #volcano🌋 #geology #aviation #travel #avgeek
Keflavik International Airport Not Affected by Volcanic Eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula

A new volcanic eruption has started on the Reykjanes Peninsula.

"Working on cooling the lava around the clock" by Iceland Monitor/MBL - Lava flow threatened to overtop defense wall/levee around Svartsengi geothermal power plant. Engineers made a clever stand hosing down and hardening a crust on the lava flow with water from the Blue Lagoon tourist hot spa pond while bulldozers added 3-4m/10-13ft to the height of the wall. Power plant saved by the effort. https://icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/news/2024/11/25/working_on_cooling_the_lava_around_the_clock/ #Reykjanes #Iceland #volcano🌋 #geology
Working on cooling the lava around the clock

Work was done all night on cooling the lava at the eruption sites at Sundhnúkagígar crater row as well as on expanding and widening the defense walls, so that red-hot lava does not get over them.

@ikluft i cannot tell whether grindavik was ever evacuated..
@barrygoldman1 It was. That happened before this latest eruption when earthquakes opened huge cracks across the town and severed power & hot water utility lines. The town is slowly recovering, after doubts it could be re-occupied for a while. A unique hastily-built lava-levee kept the lava flow just outside of town for the past 2 months. https://grapevine.is/news/2024/02/20/grindavik-re-opens-24-7-for-residents/

@ikluft this is perfect. “Well just like them on the volcanos” no notes!
@User47 While it's true in Iceland, there are also glaciers on volcanoes around the Pacific Rim. Unlike Iceland, Pacific Rim volcanoes are the explosive stratovolcanoes which have steep sides and build up to higher altitude, making up for lower latitudes. Examples in the Lower 48 states... in WA: Mt Baker, Glacier Peak, Mt Rainier, Mt St Helens; in OR: Mt Hood, Mt Jefferson, Three Sisters; in CA: Mt Shasta.
I’m glad the waterfall people chimed in too
