  • Geldingadalur Eruption, Iceland
    On June 5, the Western Lava Defense has been breached and lava started to flow down Nátthagi valley. The Eastern Defense was breached on May 22, forming a first lava flow in Nátthagi valley. This flow stopped after a few days with only little activity in the following days. Now, lava is again advancing in Nátthagi valley.
    Watch the Eastern Wall breached: • Lava Breaches Eastern ...
    The first part of the video shows drone and ground footage of the area where the lava defense was and the second part of the video shows drone and ground footage of the flow front. (The footage of the flow front is darker, because I shot it few hours later.)
    Sorry for the shaky ground footage, it was very windy...

    The drone footage shows the amazing capillary action of the lava, which has a viscosity of hot molasses. Where that wall was made, the overflow causes a sudden increase in velocity, and the ‘Bernoulli effect’? drags more lava behind it like lemmings over a cliff!

    It seemed at the time they built a levee that this was going to just make a lava lake pooling up higher and higher so it would make it just have that much more height and mass built up for when it finally did break out and this would give the lava run an added energy to drive it downhill faster and stronger.

      Slow it down (which it did few a few days).
      There is also another outlet from the upper valley and they were hoping that they could get it to flow that direction first and maybe spare the road. I suspect that the dams would nee to have been 2x-3x higher to have that occur and there wasn't time to get that in place.
