17 Days, 60 Minutes - Volcanic Eruption in Geldingadalir Iceland - Time-Lapse

This time-lapse video spans around 17 days in 60 minutes of the volcanic eruption in Geldingadalir on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland. From 20.03.2021 GMT12:00 to the first 6 hours from when the new fissures opened up 03.05.2021 GMT18:00.

The video was made from the Icelandic National Broadcasting Services live stream of the volcanic eruption in Geldingadalir.

The eruption started in the evening of March 19th, 2021 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 (over the time this was filmed). The 1.220-1.240°C (2.228-2.264F) hot lava is the hottest to ever have been measured in Iceland. The lava had 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).

(April 7th, 2021) A new chapter in this saga of volcanic eruptions on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland:
The activity in the craters in Geldingadalir had decreased quite a bit but the new fissures were very active. First measurements show that the total amount of lava flow in Geldingadalir (3m*37s) and on Fagradalsfjall (7m*3/s) combined was suspected to be around 10 m*3/s so the flow had therefore grown in intensity. The lava from the new fissures was now flowing in a long river down into Meradalir, east of the fissures.

The eruption was in an area which is not inhabited by people, so no 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.
