Iceland Powerplant Horrific Conditions: Lava Breached Defence Walls, Iceland Volcano Update

Описание: Updated November 23 at 15:25

The eruption is stable and no earthquakes have been recorded in the area.

Pretty steady fort in three craters since yesterday

Lava flows to the west are putting pressure on the dikes

The situation is sensitive in terms of the possible impact on infrastructure in and around Svartsengi due to lava flows

The risk assessment is valid until November 25, all things being equal

The eruption at Sundhnúksgíga continues. The fissure is still erupting in three defined areas and the most active is located around its middle. Activity has remained fairly steady overnight and so far throughout the day.

The eruption is stable and no earthquakes have been recorded in the area. Land subsidence is measured at nearby GPS stations, as more magma flows to the surface than is able to accumulate in a magma chamber.

Lava still flows to the west and flows along the defenses at Svartsengi and Bláa Lónið and thickens. Lava also flows to the north and east from the northernmost and southernmost craters. Lava flows to the west are putting pressure on defense walls, and the situation is sensitive in terms of the possible impact on infrastructure in and around Svartsengi due to lava flows.

Weather watch's forecast for gas pollution : It is forecast to continue to be somewhat stiff in the northeast and northwest today (Saturday) and tomorrow. Gas pollution then travels to the southwest and south towards Grindavík and Svartsengi. Wildfires are not expected.

I am a geologist by profession and training. This is an educational channel devoted mostly to spread of geological knowledge and education. I work hard to make the material you see presented to you in this short concise videos. Please support this channel by "LIKE"ing and sharing the videos and help them to be seen. I am making many videos every month. It is a constant stream of unique graphics and presentations of scientifically accurate and timely information about volcanoes. I am here for you to report everything about this fascinating subject. This is my expertise, my professional training, my education and my job.
Please if you feel you like them, support my work by using the Super Thanks and membership of the channel. Thank you.
Some of the images are produced by recent advances in Artificial Intelligence. They are just pretty pictures that AI is producing when a text describes a volcanic event or geological phenomenon for them. They are by no means represent the reality and are used here only for their graphical merits.

A great source for live views of the volcano in Reykjanes Peninsula is the amazing mbl.is YouTube channel. Please SUBSCRIBE and like and share their live YouTube camera views here to help their work be known. Iceland depends on tourism and beyond the Reykjanes Peninsula there are plenty of sites with world class tourist attractions. If you want to help Iceland, plan a holiday to this amazing country. Icelandic people are kind and welcoming people and their food and cousin is second to none. The clip of starting moments of the eruption is courtesy of mbl Iceland.

The team that designed the dikes at Grindavík and Svartsengi gained a lot of experience in designing and making them when experiments were carried out with dikes during the eruption at Fagradalsfjall in 2021. It was not surprising to the team when the dikes passed the test in the eruption on January 14.

Hörn Hrafnsdóttir, water resources engineer at Verkís and assistant professor at the Department of Environmental and Civil Engineering at the University of Helsinki, and Sólveig Kristín Sigurðardóttir, geotechnical engineer at Verkís, are on the dam team.
