Big Lava Lake Breakup - 4K Drone Footage, Iceland

Shot in Iceland at Geldingadalur Eruption, normal speed, no time lapse

In the evening of June 2, a big lava lake started to break up over several minutes. The lake was completely roofed over (covered by a solid lava crust). Suddenly, cracks appeared in the roof and molten lava emerged rapidly between the cracks and flowed over the still roofed parts of the lake. As the lava advanced, new cracks formed in the roof and new lava emerged. This process is called crustal foundering. The solid, heavy roof pieces sink into the lake made of less dense, fluid lava.
