Bardarbunga Vulkanfotos - Holuhraun-Ausbruch 2014

[verbergen]

On 23 August, the largest volcanic eruption in Iceland in over 100 years started from of Bardarbunga volcano with several phases of fissure eruptions above a large intrusion that had made its way for more than 40 km from the volcano's main reservoir.
Tom flew over the eruption site in the late afternoon of 12 September 2014. Activity at the Holuhraun fissure (which had started on 30 Aug) was still going on strong, erupting about 200 cu meters of magma per second. The eruption fissure is located about 40 km north of Bardarbunga's central caldera, between Dyngjujokull glacier and Askja Volcano.
After having started at the end of August 2014, it was still erupting about 200 cubic meters of lava per second, becoming the most important volcanic event of Iceland in the last hundred years. The lava now flows nearly 20 kms from the vents! (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

Holuhraun Spalteneruption (Bardarbunga Vulkan, Island) - Lavafontänen 12. Sep. 2014 (16 Bilder)

The following photos were taken on 13 Sep, a day after the first set of pictures. Very different wind conditions (no wind!) allowed some spectacular approaches by helicopter. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

The largest eruption in Iceland during 100 years has erupted approx. 200 million cu meters of lava within just under 2 weeks, feeding a lava flow that had reached a total length of almost 20 km by 13 Sep, with no sign of ending soon. The following pictures were taken during an overflight on 13 Sep. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

Plate Tectonics

Introduction to Plate Tectonics
The Earth's upper, rigid layer is broken into several plates which are in constant motion to one another. Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur as result of these plate boundaries.
