I was born and raised in Guatemala, a country with lots of volcanoes, I never bother to learn how they were formed, and schools never bother to teach the science of how a volcano is formed, so this is quite interesting. In the last few years, there has been two types of eruptions there too, it is fascinated to hear you explaining pretty much the same type of eruptions in Iceland as in Guatemala.

Thanks for the video, super interesting! If you want to know how to pronounce the names I suggest Reykjavik Grapevine's KZread channel. They do short news videos about what's happening in Iceland 2x a week but they started doing more around the time of the eruption. They made a video just about the names of the surrounding mountains and valleys, breaking down the meanings and how to pronounce them (but if you don't pronounce it right it's ok, luckily the Icelanders think it's hilarious instead of getting mad, they know it's a hard language). They also have gone out to the eruption site a bunch of times to do their newscasts and the footage is mesmerizing. It is from them that I learned Geldingadalur is named that because of a farmer back in the day who kept a lot of castrated rams there.

Very informative. There was one thing that I was surprised to see omitted (although maybe the science has moved on since my geology classes in high school), when talking about the volcanic activity in Iceland being caused by its position on the Mid-Atlantic ridge. That's, as far as I've understood it, only part of the answer. The main reason that Iceland rises above the surface compared with the rest of the ridge is that in Iceland the ridge converges with a volcanic hotspot, much like the one in Hawai'i, but that one is thousands of miles away from the nearest tectonic boundary. But you're certainly more well read on this so please correct me if I'm wrong. Great pronunciation (for a non-Icelandic speaker). It's really difficult to master, but good tips to remember: The emphasis is always on the first syllable, and the double l is usually pronounced similar to 'tl'.

Great presentation. You have a wonderful little volcano that is so easy to work with. Yes, you can see by its gentle effusive behaviour with accompanying slabby pahoehoe flows it's a mafic magma. Any halide gasses, eg fluorine and chlorine being released? Who knows you might find a gemstone quality peridot.

Thank you 🙏🏼 I’m no geologist, but I have obsessively been watching this volcano since I first found out about it. I had questions, and sometimes people in the chat took me seriously and tried to answer. Foe example, as I watched the sheer volume coming out of both spouts filling up this valley, I had wondered about “to every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction” (or however that quote goes 😊) and I began to wonder if we might see a huge sinkhole open up someplace. Someone said not, because of subduction. I actually Googled that to see what it was!

@davidhugill4668

The reaction is that the crust on top of which the lava erupts will become depressed to some extent by the weight of that lava.

@charliedoyle7824

There won't be a sinkhole anywhere because of this eruption. This lava is coming out of the mantle (below the crust) because there is heat being released deep in the Earth. The heat expands the hot mantle material a little more, so it builds pressure. Under higher pressure, the material pushes its way out in weak spots of the crust, such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where Iceland is located. The Earth doesn't get bigger from these kinds of lava flows because the heaviest piles on top of the crust (big mountains, big lava piles, big glaciers) are slowly sinking. The Earth is kinda like a big hot waterbed. If the interior releases material to the surface, a heavy pile somewhere will sink down a little more. So I guess your idea of 'for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction' does apply here. Subduction probably doesn't apply to this lava, since it's not building a new section of seafloor. Only thin seafloors get subducted back down to the mantle.

Thumbs up and subscription done :-)Talking about 6000 years interval of eruptions Icelandic sources referring to Hengill system located about 60 km NE of the current Geldingadalir eruption, this system is different lava was erupting from the existing chamber, not from a fissure like current eruption. The last time Geldingadalir erupted was 800 years ago, that's what I have found from Icelandic media describing the ongoing eruption. Thanks for the excellent comprehensive info.

well explained, easily understood, but does this seems to show a pattern with there being 52 volcano eruptions around the world in the last month? I have tried to find if the is any correlation between these events but nothing explained easily

The lava from the new fissure flows into Meradalir, mare valleys. Was such a relief when the earthquakes stopped, people were hoping for an eruption asap so they would stop.

Excellent!!!

Apparently the name Geldingadalir comes from the fact that someone pastured geldings (castrated horses) in that valley. A tip on pronounciation: The first part "geldinga" is much like the English word "gelding", with a hard g in the beginning, like "gate". The a at the end is just an unstressed glue between the parts. "Dalir" means valley, it is related to the English words "dell" and "dale". The a is stressed and a little longer, the i is short and unstressed. This might not be perfect, as I am Swedish, not Icelandic, but I have heard it spoken by Icelandic people, and our languages are similar enough that I get the main points. Edit: Perhaps I was misinformed about the horses. According to this video, it was rams. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nY6stcqsd8mfaaw.html

(Gelding valley eruption) Of the different options, I think this is maybe the least difficult fot native English speakers. The main problem for English speakers seems to be that the words are so long, so I think it helps that the videos breaks down the compound words into their components. In Nordic languages we concatenate words to form new concepts, while English usually just puts separate words next to each other. But English does concatenate words sometimes. Motorcycle is a combination of "motor" and "cycle". In Swedish: "motorcykel". But while English does not want to go too far with this, like in "motorcycle helmet", the Nordic languages know no limit. Swedish: motorcykelhjälm. English: motorcycle helmet visor; Swedish: motorcykelhjälmsvisir. And we make up words on the fly in this way. "Motorcycle helmet visor cleaning cloth" becomes for example "motorcykelhjälmsvisirsrengöringsduk", or in short "trasa" (rag).

Hello! thank you for commenting/watching from Argentina! I hope to visit someday, it seems like a beautiful country. If you take a look at the comment above yours, there is a great detailed response by someone named Charles who talks about the amount of lava coming out of the current volcano in Iceland. As for Mount Etna, I don't know too too much info about the current eruption - but the major difference between Mount Etna and the Geldingadalir eruptions is the tectonic setting. Iceland is on a divergent plate boundary, and the specific volcanic eruption has a mafic magma source, from deeper down close to the mantle. This eruption is non-explosive, or *effusive*. Mount Etna has the ability to have both effusive (non-explosive), as well as explosive eruptions. The major difference is that this tectonic setting is a subduction zone. Subduction zones tend to create more explosive volcanic eruptions, partly because ocean water will be incorporated into the crust as one plate is pushed under another. When water is added to magma, it changes the composition of the magma and can lead to more explosive eruptions. Also, when one plate is subducted under another, the different types of crustal material can mix together and the magma becomes more evolved - with more silica and therefore a much more viscous magma. Mount Etna tends to create more dangerous conditions because it can explosively spew ash and rock fragments, as well as dangerous gases into the air. I hope this helps answer your question!

Congratulations for this very clear, informative and conspiranoic-free video. I hope this eruption last long in a safe way, not threatening any villages or farms, so that many people around the world can get to see this non-common or accesible "touristic" eruption, including you of course. I have a question: Do this mantle lava expels more carbon dioxide (CO2) than crustal lava?

Is the lava "jumping" and "splashing" in the volcano because it's boiling or because it's spurting upwards? Will there be any lava left inside after it's done erupting?

Very interesting. Thank you. I've never seen a volcano; there are none close to my home. I'd like to one day.
