Iceland Volcano Eruption Update; Geldingadalir Fissure Expands, High Lava Effusion

[Valin]

Aug 4, 2022 A new volcanic eruption recently began in Iceland just outside of the nation's capital. What was initially a 100 meter long fissure is now more than 350 meters or 1,148 feet in length and has created somewhat of a surprise. This new eruption is outputting a volume of lava which is more than 5 times higher than witnessed in a similar eruption last year. So, what will happen next? Where will the lava flow? This video will answer these two questions and the ongoing volcanic eruption.

Aug 5, 2022 Hello everybody, hope you're doing great and are ready for some volcano updates! So it's now been two days since an eruption began here in Iceland just 1,5km northeast of the eruption we had last year. Now we have a lot of new information and data on the eruption which I'll go over in this video.

This eruption is much larger than the first eruption but its size has fluctuated a bit since it started, but this development is normal and to be expected.

Like the last eruption, its size points toward a long-lasting eruption that could go on for months with the last eruption lasting 6 months.

Gas will now be flying around the vicinity of the volcano and will reach certain towns when the wind blows in a certain direction and gas levels will be monitored.
