  • Geologist Ólafur Íngólfsson joins us on a trip to the volcano. He will tell us about the nature of the Icelandic volcanic zone, the events leading up to the eruption. And finally he will tell us about the characteristics of the Geldingadalur volcano.

    Good to hear a geologist in person provide eloquent commentary and explanations. Thankyou. (A personal preference would be lose the music while he talks - some of the revelations for me about this eruption have been in hearing the constant natural environmental noise of the lava flows and violent eruptions. But I still very much appreciate this video. Thanks again)

    Thanks to your dad, I will never be able to look at my toenails without my brain connecting that to the rate of continental drift.
    On the other hand, checking the width of that crack between the plates right at the beginning (and trying to measure it in toenails, obviously) makes me feel very young.

    Finally! Information from an expert! Most of the videos, while visually great, have no info except obvious observation. Anyone else on site who talks about the geology & the actual mechanics of the lava progression? Is the “wall” being built expected to actually divert the lava? To where?
    Thanks.

    • @olafuringolfsson9151
      @olafuringolfsson9151 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for your positive feedback. The wall is constructed to keep the lava confined within the valleys surrounding the volcano, instead of having it taking the path of least resistance down towards the coast where it threatens infrastructure (roads, cables). Hopefully this can be done. In case the eruption lasts for months or the lava production increases this might turn out to be futile. Lava flows cannot be stopped, only diverted, and there are limits to what we can do. But, it is worth the try.

  • @philbox4566
    @philbox4566 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Yes please. More dad the geologist. Would be awesome if he could explain the separation of the gasses from the molten rock within the earth to form those massive jets exiting the volcano. Also what roll the cooled lava plays to form a more or less insulating layer over the hot rocks and lava within the lava field after it has flowed across the landscape. Totally fascinating talk from Dad the geologist. Moar, moar.

    Wow that was the best video I've seen so far that describes exactly what is happening in iceland with the volcano. Your Dad did an awesome job of explaining it in a way that made it easy to understand. It is also the first time I have seen the rocks falling on people 20 seconds after the eruption. That kind of made me feel that people are getting way too close to a volcano that was dormant for thousands of years & no one really knows what it is going to do. Brilliant video Jon Bear.

    Thanks to you and your Dad for giving us a great look at the eruption. I'm a geologist as well in Western Australia - we don't get to see eruptions down here! Great to see the glassy tephra falling - was any of it hot? Cheers!

      Thanks for your positive feedback. Mostly, the shards cooled and solidified in the air, but the most violent explosions caused still molten lava to the be thrown our way. This ignited the mosses (and we decided to retreat to a safer location)...

    Outstanding! Your father is an excellent presenter, and considering that English is not likely to be his first language, his presentation and English skills are perfect! There have been many videos of the Geldingadalur volcano eruption, but this really is the very best of them by a mile. Very informative, brilliantly created, very well edited, and outstandingly presented by your dad. Thank you for putting the time and effort into this. Greetings from Wales, Jon. John.

  • @samus6256
    @samus6256 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Good show. I really appreciated a geologists explaining the local geology. I was kind of bummed he didn't explain the process of the cycles we are seeing now with heavy flow (fountains) and then quite.

    • @olafuringolfsson9151
      @olafuringolfsson9151 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for your positive feedback. This is an interesting question. One explanation could be that at some depth the channel feeding magma to the vent widens which causes sudden drop in surrounding pressure. This causes gas to be released from the magma and rise to the vent in big bubbles, which in turn throw up these fountains of lava

    • @davidbartley7119
      @davidbartley7119 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@olafuringolfsson9151 I guess you mean that the vent narrows along a mainly vertical direction, with the lava’s speed accordingly increasing while moving upwards, with the pressure decreasing (proportional to the speed squared via Bernoulli), allowing gas to be released. Do you have more details as to how this leads to cyclical eruptions with sometimes extremely constant periods (e.g., every 4 minutes)? You could email me at bartleydavy@gmail.com Thanks, David

  • @TheDavid342
    @TheDavid342 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I've been following the eruption since early March. Many thanks to Ólafur Íngólfsson for his explanations. Loved the shots of the rocks raining down after the lava fountains ended. First time I've seen that. First rate video and audio too. This is the fastest geology I have ever seen. Hope the weather clears and you all go back to the eruption soon.

    Jon's dad estimated that this volcano, at the time of this video, has put out 20 million cubic meters of lava. 2018 Kilauea lower east rift zone eruption which last 4 months had put out an estimated 1 billion cubic meters. The largest eruption to take place from Kilauea in the last 200 years.
