    Hi Shawn, your Idaho Falls neighbor here. At 9:35-9:38 PM, Iceland time, the north east corner of the crater collapsed. draining out the lava pool and cutting off the flow in the chute. All of the lava is now pouring out the north and east side of the vent, instead of going south-southeast.

    That was a stunningly awesome wonderful thing to watch. Watching this almost all the time, I don't do tellybox, I was awestruck. I have it on at work, so glancing at it every few minutes I think i was in a unique position to have an idea it was coming. The lava break outs, then noticing the channel had stopped flowing. I knew something was happening. Then another break out and emptying of the exterior pool. Then glancing back up I thought the lava pool was filling up. Five minutes later I knew it was. By this time I even had a few customers watching and chatting (amazing that some didn't even know the situation in iceland, or vaguely) Then, splosh, over some came. The rest we all know. The most amazing thing to watch, and live too. I wrote down your name for some customers to get clued in and understand what is happening along with Isaac too. Hopefully adding to the team. Absolutely gorgeous to watch and rewind again. Enjoy everyone, it is a unique thing happening and thanks to the interwebby for all to see....live!

    I'm actually more amazed that the flow keeps building up to the south. Physically the land is much lower in every direction but the south. I'm concerned about it breaking out another direction and flowing fast enough to reach the road again pretty quickly because it's like draining a pond. Thanks for the update.

    Thanks Shawn and my friend Rollo for sending me this! Great video and talk. I could see the thermal erosion you spoke of. It looks to me there is more lava flowing on the left that we can't see . As Shawn said a helicopter would be good to get a good idea how much is flowing away we can't see. Loved watching and listening to Shawn narrate this and make it even more interesting!

    That was spectacular too. And I'm so fascinated with following the evolution of this volcanic system.

    @Joemama555 Před 2 měsíci

    once the pond lip fails in one place, there seems to be a cascading failure of the pond lips/edges as the level of lava lowers in the pond, i suppose the "hydro"static (lavastatic?) pressure was holding the lip/edges in place, and once the balancing force of the lava on the edges is lessened, the lips all fall in and accelerate the pond draining. I suppose similar lavastatic forces were helping maintain the vent open into the base of the cone.

    You mentioned the same thing I was considering, and that is; where is the paths of the flow headed. Also what happened to the older flow that stopped short of the southern road? Another vlogger said that the recent flows had reached older paths and were close to running over the tops of the area near the quarry that was filled in. With this continued eruption, my concern has been Grindavik and Blue Lagoon areas.

    Ground deformation has started again, do you think it will just fuel the spatter cone or will it eventually build up enough pressure to open up another fissure? I would think it would open a small fissure and relieve the pressure and keep on fuelling the current spatter cone.

    Could a partial blockage between the sill and the vent have given way, allowing the magma onceg again to flow directly from the deep storage to the surface? If this suggestion is correct, inflation under Svartsengi should pause again and the measured lava efflux from the cone will have increased.

  • @MdCrabWhisperer
    @MdCrabWhisperer Před 2 měsíci

    Love your on the fly live streams! Bear with me as I explain this but I was watching one of the live streams and wound back to when the over flow stalled this evening. Between 21:37 ~ and 21:38 30 ~ Iceland time, it seemed like the amount of lava within the cone decreased fairly quickly along with the output. I wondered why it had happened so quickly and finally thought maybe part of the inside collapsed, therefore it had more room to fill before spilling over again. I rewound again and it was around the 21:38 28 time you could see a large part of the back left wall collapse. Now im just wondering if the lava will start to flow over the edge again after it "fills" the space it made earlier when collapsing. Just my pondering and observations to share. Thanks so much for your update!
