The Active Volcano in Iceland; Grímsvötn

Описание: The most active volcano in all of Iceland is the towering glacier covered peak known as Grímsvötn. This volcano produced one of the deadliest eruptions in human history in 1783-1785, and produced a large explosive eruption in 2011. Grímsvötn has erupted 77 times in the last 1,000 years, and is likely leading towards another new eruption in the next 1 to 2 years. This video will discuss Grímsvötn's geology and discuss its notable eruptions.
