Volcanic eruption near Reykjavik

Volcanic eruption near Reykjavik

The tabular volcano Fagradalsfjall is part of the Krysuvik volcanic system on the Reykjanes peninsula in southwest Iceland, around 40 kilometers from the capital Reykjavik. Intensive seismic activity had been measured around the volcanic mountain since Saturday. As of Monday, the weather authority IMO registered more than 10,000 earthquakes there, two of them with a magnitude of more than…

Iceland Volcano Eruption!!! Look at the damage!

Iceland Volcano Eruption: A volcano near Iceland's capital city and primary airport has begun to erupt. According to the Icelandic Meteorological Office, the eruption is around 20 miles southwest of the city of Reykjavik, close to the Fagradalsfjall mountain. Molten lava is seen erupting from a small mountain fracture in a live video feed from the scene. The eruption comes after several days of minor tremors along a peninsula that is considered to be a seismic hotspot. A 500–750 metre long breach in the same region erupted in stunning lava jets in March of last year, and activity persisted into September. Although it was the first to occur in the region in at least 800 years, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are nothing new in the nation. The island has an eruption on average every four to five years and is situated atop a volcanic hotspot in the North Atlantic. Iceland's airline industry is on high alert due to recent volcanic activity near Keflavik Airport, which handles all international air traffic in the country. In order to prohibit aeroplanes from flying directly over the location, a "code red" has been issued; however, this may be lifted following additional research. It is recognised that Icelandic eruptions can have a negative impact on European aviation. When the Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted in 2010, it released clouds of ash and particles into the atmosphere that grounded flights between Europe and North America for several days. Millions of travellers were stranded as more than 100,000 planes were grounded. As of right now, no airline flights are being impacted, according to Iceland's national airport authority.

The Reykjanes peninsula in southwest Iceland contains the Krysuvik volcanic system, which includes Mount Fagradalsfjall. The most active number of volcanic systems in Europe is 32, and it is found in Iceland. On average, an eruption has occurred in the nation every five years. A rift in the ocean floor that separates the tectonic plates of Europe and North America runs across the large island near the Arctic Circle. In part, the movement of these plates is what causes Iceland to experience such high levels of volcanic activity. Every four to five years, Iceland, which is situated atop a volcanic hotspot in the North Atlantic, experiences an eruption. The Eyjafjallajokull volcano eruption in 2010 was the most upsetting recent event; it blasted clouds of ash and dust into the skies and halted air transport between Europe and North America for days due to worries the ash could harm jet engines. Millions of people were stranded because more than 100,000 flights were cancelled.

Volcanic eruptions in the past

The longest volcanic eruption to have occurred in Iceland in the past 50 years has been officially proclaimed to be over. Thousands of tourists came to see the spectacle and the lava flows. According to Brynds r Gsladóttir, a natural hazards expert at the Icelandic Meteorological Institute, "this eruption is now deemed over" because it has been three months since the last emission of lava (IMO). However, the organisation that keeps track of volcanic activity warned trekkers to exercise caution and said it will keep an eye on the area. On March 19, lava started to erupt near Mount Fagradalsfjall, which is located about 25 miles (40 km) south-west of the country's capital Reykjavik. However, this eruption, Iceland's sixth in the last 20 years, lasted six months and was the longest eruption ever recorded. On September 18, shortly after setting that record, the lava started to emerge. However, this didn't happen until more than 140 million cubic metres of magma had spilled into the valleys of Geldingadalur. The eruption, which was relatively simple to reach, developed into a significant tourist destination, drawing more than 350,000 tourists, according to the Icelandic Tourist Board. There could be more eruptions in the vicinity, according to experts. The IMO stated that "history teaches us that volcanic activity there occurs in cycles." After raising the eruption alert level to orange two weeks prior, the institute last week reduced the risk of an eruption of Grmsvötn, another Icelandic volcano. The most active volcano in Iceland, which erupts on average every five to ten years, is located in the island's centre beneath a massive glacier in a less travelled area.

Watch | Icelandic volcano's first eruption in 900 years

Watch | Icelandic volcano’s first eruption in 900 years

In March, Iceland witnessed the awakening of a volcano near its capital Reykjavik, for the first time in 900 years Streams of red lava bubbled and flowed out of a fissure in a valley in Geldingadalur, close to Mount Fagradalsfjall on the Reykjanes peninsula in southwestern Iceland. As the lava flow slowed under rain showers, a blue gas plume and a vapour cloud rose from the site and experts said…

People advised against volcano path today

The Geldingadalir volcanic eruption site was quiet last night, according to police officer Guðmundur Eyjólfsson. People started arriving early this morning to hike to the volcano, but the wind today is expected to blow gases over the new hiking trail.

Reykjavik, 01.08.21

Heute ist unser Abreisetag. Wir haben aber noch den ganzen Tag zur Verfügung, da unser Flug erst nach Mitternacht startet. Leider müssen wir schon um 10 Uhr das Apartment verlassen; gut, dass wir unser Auto erst am Flughafen abgeben müssen.

Als wir in die Innenstadt fahren, ist es etwas regnerisch. Wir fahren zum Hafen und schauen uns die Harpa an, das ungewöhnliche Konzerthaus. Später besuchen wir das Fischfangmuseum, das sehr interessant. Wir kaufen danach noch einige Souvenirs und verlassen Reykjavik endgültig. Auf dem Weg zum internationalen Flughafen Keflavik machen wir einige Umwege, um uns noch einige Sehenswürdigkeiten anzuschauen, da wir noch viel Zeit haben. Dass diese Sehenswürdigkeiten nochmal ein Highlight darstellen würden auf unserer Tour, hatten wir gar nicht erwartet.

Zuerst haben wir uns das Hochtemperaturgebiet Krysuvik angeschaut, was farblich von grün bis rot alle Farben bot und wo es überall brodelte und blubberte. Dann wollte ich mir die Steilküste bei Krysuvikurbjarg anschauen, doch die geschotterte Zufahrt wurde nach einigen Kilometer immer schlimmer, so dass ich den Bitten und Drohungen meiner Liebsten schließlich nachgab und umdrehte.

Wir sind dann weiter nach Brimketill gefahren, eine sehenswerte Felsenküste, die gleich an der Straße lag. Danach ging es weiter zu dem geothermischer Gunnuhver, wo es in der Nähe ein Feld gab, wo riesige Dampfwolken hochzogen wegen des austretenden kochenden Wassers. Zum Schluss ging es noch Bru milli heimsalfa. Dabei handelt es sich um eine Brücke zwischen den Kontinenten. Hier ist ein Graben, der sich stetig verbreitert zwischen der eurasischen und der nordamerikanischen Kontinentalplatte.

Nach so vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten haben wir den Tag mit einem schönen Abendessen in Keflavik ausklingen lassen. Danach haben wir das Auto am Flughafen abgegeben, unser restliches isländisches Bargeld für einen landestypischen Likör verwendet und sind um 00:25 Uhr nach Frankfurt geflogen. Erfreulicherweise blieb ein Platz frei in unserer Sitzreihe, was den Rückflug viel angenehmer machte. Um kurz vor 6 Uhr landeten wir in Frankfurt und um 7:30 Uhr waren wir zu Hause, wo wir uns erstmal für einige Stunden in der Horizontalen ausruhten.
