The 2021 lava at Fagradalsfjall

The 2021 lava at Fagradalsfjall
seen from the path to Langihryggur. In the background is an eruption crater in the form of a more or less perfect circle, this type of crater is called eldborg (fire castle, Feuerburg) in Icelandic. The light coloured stuff is sulphur.


The site of the 2022 Meradalir eruption www.ipernity.com/doc/523247/51496750 lies in the valley behind that crater..

This is a fine angle, it clearly shows why the lava managed to get as far as this Natthagi valley: Nar simply grew so amazinly high during the eruption, that the gravity took care of the rest!

Many thanks, Spo! The webcams, especially at night, were a fantastic sight last year, all that lava spilling over and sometimes solid bits of the crater wall breaking off and swimming on the lava river:-)
