The 2021 lava at Fagradalsfjall

The 2021 lava at Fagradalsfjall
seen from the path to Langihryggur. In the background is an eruption crater in the form of a more or less perfect circle, this type of crater is called eldborg (fire castle, Feuerburg) in Icelandic. The light coloured stuff is sulphur.


The site of the 2022 Meradalir eruption www.ipernity.com/doc/523247/51496750 lies in the valley behind that crater..

Herzlichen Dank, Udo! Der Anblick der alten Lava hat einen beim langweiligen Aufstieg aufgemuntert:-) Ein schönes Wochenende ins Allgäu!

Another stark landscape, beautiful in its loneliness. The lava looks like a shadow.

Gudrun club has replied to Amelia club
Thanks a lot, Amelia! The loneliness is deceptive, there was a steady stream of visitors and the huge parking lot was full! Only the street food truck that had been there in 2021 hadn't arrived yet;-)

Dieser Lavastrom ist von 2021. Habe ihn "live" im Internet verfolgt. War sehr interessant. Dank der Schaulustigen und den offiziellen Stellen gab es viele aktuelle Filme. Den Ausbruch von 2022 konnte ich nicht verfolgen, da war ich gerade im Urlaub.

Gudrun club has replied to jeybee68 club
Herzlichen Dank, jeybee! Ich hing da auch an den Webcams und habe die Videos auf YT verfolgt;-) Dieses Jahr war ich auch gerade in Urlaub, glücklicherweise in Island- und glücklicherweise war jeder für die Änderung der Reiseroute zugunsten des neuen Ausbruchs.

Wow, a fabulous and unusual terrain!
Stunning pictures, as always Gudrun.

Gudrun club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thanks a lot, Rosa! The original hills are also volcanic, subglacial. After a hiatus of 800 years this is becoming active again...

A fascinating pair of shots Gudrun..............in the absence of anything else I could easily have assumed I was looking at water flowing into a valley. The sulphur resembles fast flowing water.

This is another example of your great reportage photography.............thanks for sharing!
19 months ago.
Gudrun club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you so much, Keith! Actually the lava indeed often resembled fast flowing water and when it went over the edges of the hills it looked like a glowing waterfall! This is primitive basaltic lava from the mantle, nearly 1200°C hot and very fluid.

Beeindruckend! Aber man möchte bei so einem ausbruch nicht in der nähe sein und die lava über die füsse schwappen fühlen... ;-)

Gudrun club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
Großen Dank, Edna! Haha, da würden selbst die Knochen sofort verdampfen;-) Irgendwelche Idioten sind trotzdem auf gerade erkalteter Lava rumspaziert, dass da unter der dünnen Kruste noch immer sehr heiße Lava ist, geht wohl in manche Hirne nicht rein. Naja, das wäre dann halt die Darwinsche Auslese;-)

Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Gudrun club
Jaja, man sagt das so leichtfertig daher!! ;-)
Ja, so ist das...manche leute müssen halt ihre erfahrungen selbst sammeln, sonst glauben sie es nicht ;-)))

Gudrun club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
Solange sie damit nicht freiwillige Rettungskräfte gefährden... Im Falle der Lava-Spaziergänger gab es eine offizielle Verlautbarung, dass es zu gefährlich sei und solche Idioten nicht mit Rettung rechnen könnten.

Stunning views !

I suspect that we have not seen the last eruption in this small area.

Gudrun club has replied to StoneRoad2013 club
Thanks a lot, Sarah! That is just the beginning, we'll see decades of activity! Scientists have already said it was time to think about building a new airport as the road there might get cut off by lava one day....

A magnificent record of the power of nature to both destroy and create at the same time.

Enjoy your Sunday Gudrun

Thank you so much, Doug! As the area is uninhabited there's not much damage so far.

Marvellous images of this spectacular volcanic landscape, Gudrun. That certainly is a very substantial lava flow.

Thanks very much, George! Last year's episode lasted months, at some point they worried it would reach the road but it stopped in time:-)

This is a fine angle, it clearly shows why the lava managed to get as far as this Natthagi valley: Nar simply grew so amazinly high during the eruption, that the gravity took care of the rest!

Gudrun club has replied to Spo
Many thanks, Spo! The webcams, especially at night, were a fantastic sight last year, all that lava spilling over and sometimes solid bits of the crater wall breaking off and swimming on the lava river:-)
