Big Lava Lake Breakup - 4K Drone Footage, Iceland

Shot in Iceland at Geldingadalur Eruption, normal speed, no time lapse
In the evening of June 2, a big lava lake started to break up over several minutes. The lake was completely roofed over (covered by a solid lava crust). Suddenly, cracks appeared in the roof and molten lava emerged rapidly between the cracks and flowed over the still roofed parts of the lake. As the lava advanced, new cracks formed in the roof and new lava emerged. This process is called crustal foundering. The solid, heavy roof pieces sink into the lake made of less dense, fluid lava.

It's called crustal overturning, solid lava is more dense than liquid so the crust will break up and sink. That was a great video! Looks like it might be the lake growing under the crust and breaking out too.

This was awesome, in the true meaning of the word. It was passing by too quickly so I started over at .25x without sound. I kept saying wow wow...WHAT? whoa WOW! WT...?! It was mind boggling to see how hot it is under the crust and how the molten lava pushed the edges of the crust up and under. Absolutley stunning footage. Thank you. If you get a chance to do this again, woud it be possible to occasionally angle up briefly to orient in relation to the volcano itself? I appreciate this so much since I am unable to be there myself.

Wow!! This perfectly illustrates why the path that leads to a hill almost completely surrounded by lava is now roped off. The expectation is the lava will overflow the path at any moment now, and more quickly than people might think. Seeing this video gave me the perspective in a stark and amazing way! I'm also seeing that too many foolish ones are stepping over the barricade and going up the hill anyhow. (Seeing from videos - I'm not there, even though I would like to be - and I truly appreciate this footage!)

1- It's easy to do now with the newest phones and cameras! 2- The Icelandic government, fully embraced from the get-go, that this was a huge opportunity to "stimulate" their economy. Travel restrictions were eased. Up close and personal visits are helped and encouraged by all levels of government there. 3- Unlike the USGS during the recent Kilauea eruption, who locked down all access and FORBADE drones of any kind anywhere over the park. Only thru the efforts of a few local people, who the government couldn't lock out, was virtually ANY video acquired. Absolutely a shame so much was not documented as this eruption will be!

I'd LOVE to figure out the Fluid Dynamics behind this phenomena.

@b.a.erlebacher1139 3 жыл бұрын

Not sure in what detail you want to figure it out (it could be very challenging mathematically) but what's happening is basically that lava is being delivered below the surface from lava tube, increasing the vertical pressure under the frozen crust, which cracks (easily since it's quite fragile). The cracks propagate and loose pieces sink - unlike water and ice, the solid rock is denser than the liquid. The pressure makes the lava ooze out and override more crust which breaks and sinks. Lava tubes form from flows of lava that get roofed over. Insulated and flowing they can extend for kilometers. Sometimes they drain out when their source stops feeding them, leaving long tubular caves that can be found in volcanic regions around the world. Hope this helps.

@GaldirEonai 3 жыл бұрын

The main thing is that unlike water ice, solidified lava is denser and thus heavier than the liquid below. A layer of ice will float atop a frozen lake. A surface layer of solidified lava is only held up by its own tensile strength. As soon as it breaks under the strain, the pieces sink below, displacing the liquid which wells up through the cracks and causes further pieces of the crust to sink.

The combination of beauty and the feelings of astonishment and sheer terror this volcano evokes as it now grows into a beast can only be described by one word: Sublime. I think if you look up the definition of "sublime", it means a simultaneous sense of beauty and terror. By that definition, this eruption is truly sublime, and your videos are allowing thousands of people to experience an (IMHO) important and humbling emotion. I would do anything to be able to be there myself and experience the sublime firsthand. Your videos are the next best thing.

You could walk that way thinking 'the lava has stopped, I'm safe' then while watching the eruptions up close a wave of new lava could spread and cover the path back.

@@matthewbooth9265 I don't think Venus is geologically active anymore, but it is theorized that its entire surface underwent a similar process to this, but i would imagine it be more akin to global flood basalt events covering the surface rather than a surface crust breaking apart and sinking below. but that is more semantics. the end result is more or less the same. Pluto is also theorized to actively resurface itself, just with nitrogen and ices rather than lava and rock.
