Yesterday I took a trip to the ongoing volcanic eruption in Geldingadalur, and we stuck around for a while, from daylight to dark. It was pretty fascinating!

I am pleased to report that bulbs emerging from the ground look an awful lot like our baby shield volcano at Geldingadalur in Iceland. Complete with ground deformation and everything. As such, I have named this baby (hyacinth? I think?)* Geldingadalur. Sadly (though not unexpectedly), they do not produce lava. My neighbors might get a bit angry with me if they did. Loki and Hel would have been mighty pleased, though.

*will confirm later

Geldingadalur Edit

[nisoma-jokull]

L’éruption du volcan Geldingadalur : La "vallée des castrés" (Geldingadalur) se transforme petit à petit en "champ de lave des castrés" (Geldingahraun). La lave sort au rythme estimé de 5 m3/s, de quoi remplir la vallée en moins de 15 jours. Le débordement se fera ensuite vers le "pâturage de nuit" (Nátthagi). La route vers l'océan sera ensuite encore très longue et il faudrait de nombreux mois d'activité avant que cela se produise.
