A Hornito (literally: little oven) is a small turret shaped spattering/ degassing vent that develops in effusive eruptions. Hornitos are rootless, meaning they aren't fed from deep sources but from hot lava running in tubes not far from the surface. When pressure in the tubes gets too high the lava and gases break out in such vents. whc.unesco.org/en/list/1604 www.katlageopark.com/geosites/mainly-geology/lakagigar By the melting patterns in the 1st note and the volcanic glass in the 2nd you can see how hot and fluid the lava must have been.

I hate liquorice;-) In this form it's easy to avoid but with other stuff like teas/infusions, cough pastilles you always have to read the ingredients list.

Þórsmörk (Thor's wood) is the wooded ridge on the far side of Krossá river (in the middle background of the photo), Goðaland (Land of the Gods) is the area on the near side. Both Þórsmörk and Goðaland have lush birch forests with flowers like orchids and cranesbill thanks to a sheltered microclimate between the glaciers of Myrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull.

SC55: a quote, saying or poetry Un dì all'azzurro spazio guardai profondo, e ai prati colmi di viole, pioveva loro il sole, e folgorava d'oro il mondo: parea la terra un immane tesor, e a lei serviva di scrigno il firmamento. Beginning of the Improvviso from Umberto Giordano's Andrea Chenier, words by Luigi Illica (1857-1919). One of the best libretti ever written. The historic André Chenier was a poet who died under the guillotine in 1794. Another contribution in the clickable note: Mies van der Rohe, Mr "Less is more":

A photo from the 3rd day of the rather shortlived 2022 Meradalir eruption- fog and rainclouds drifting in from the sea. After 2021 (Geldingadalir) and 2022 (Meradalir), Fagradalsfjall started its 3rd eruption on 10th July, this time a bit further north at Litli Hrútur. After 6 days it has already built a sizeable cone with lava fountains, a lava tube and a lava river and has joined up with the old lavas from 2021/22. This year's eruption is not big but more powerful than the precdeding ones. The lava is nearly 1200°C hot and mantle derived, it comes from a depth of 17-20 km.
