15 days, Three minutes - Volcanic Eruption in Geldingadalir Iceland - Time-Lapse

Please feel free to adjust the speed.

This is a 15 day time-lapse video made from the Icelandic National Broadcasting Services live stream of the volcanic eruption in Geldingadalir on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland. The video spans about fifteen days in just 3 minutes. From 20.03.2021 11:58 to 03.03.2021 12:36

The eruption started in the evening of March 19th and lasted until late September 2021.

The volcano had been spewing out around 5.7 cubic meters per second (m3/s) of hot lava, around 5 million cubic meters every day. The 1.220-1.240°C (2.228-2.264F) hot lava was the hottest to ever have been measured in Iceland. The lava has a chemical signature of a deep origin and the volcano was therefore suspected to be feed by a large reservoir of molten lava at depth of about 17-20km (10.5-12.5 miles).

The lava began flowing into the next valley in early April.

The eruption was in an area which is not inhabited by people so no major infrastructure was in any significant danger.

Thanks for the love and support through all of these videos. It has really been an encouragement to keep this work going.
