We @Vedurstofan and #IStremor have been occupied today with these.. Highly regular emergent lp (>3hz) 1 minute drumbeats originated in the #Torfajökull volcanic area.. (earthquake at the bottom is from Reykjanes peninsula).

Great example of lava levees in bottom left. Notice how the lava is moving fastest in the middle of the channel? Lava at the margin slows, cools and solidifies to form levees that help contain the flowing lava. The levees are built up by overspills from the channel.

Here’s our most recent chemical analyses, alongside the other monitoring data. Our sampling has recorded continuing subtle changes in the lava composition.

EUROVOLC team created a series of videos on monitoring. Have a look! #EUROVOLC #volcanichazard #volcanicrisk #volcano #monitoring https://t.co/1YOczOTg7T

[VMSG @vmsg_uk]

Free workshop alert! 🚨 VMSG is organising a series on GIS for geoscientists 💻🌍 delivered by the wonderful @volcannick. Sessions 12-2pm every Weds in Nov. Sign up here https://t.co/sbakpyUji3. Deadline Weds 27th Oct. Thanks to @claire_harnett1 and @WattsGeology for organising!

[Kate Gallagher @kate_volc]

Thinking of studying volcanoes or find the methods of understanding volcanic hazards or monitoring interesting?

EuroVolc has some great videos now available on a YouTube channel, which were produced as part of the recent summer school hosted by Iceland.

La lengua de lava del proceso eruptivo de La Palma arrasa con todo a su paso en su camino hacia el mar.

Lovely piece by Charlie Creese. https://t.co/V68FMpGE8p

[Joana Voigt @VoigtJoana]

Poking the lava was one of the highlights. Thanks to @kate_volc and @RobAskew2.

Might be the best day at the volcano to date. Sun and 50m fountaning 🌋 AND then we found tephra pieces the size of my fist - what's not to like? Tadaaa! Video by @Tetraheedra

[Jacqueline Grech Licari @GrechLicari]

Spectacular performance by Vent 5 at the #Geldingadalir eruption site this morning (27.04.2021). Unsustained fountaining has been ongoing since yesterday night whilst activity at all other vents has visibly decreased.

New updates on our favourite lava from @rockhardIES! 🌋 the lava is becoming chemically enriched over time, which is best explained by melts derived from deeper in the mantle. I'm feeling very lucky to be part of this and getting to study this, the coolest of eruptions 👩‍🔬

[sigridurkristjans @sissakristjans]

Really cool animation showing how much the lava in #Fagradalsfjall has grown since it started just over a month ago! #eruption

@clarkdeirdre @RobAskew2 @GBirkefeldt @Haskoli_Islands @uni_iceland Ahahha, too true! Laki would make everything hard to see. Geldingadalsgos is indeed a cute wee one! Enjoying watching it navigate the surrounding topography, makes for an interesting shapefile 😂

[Rob Askew @RobAskew2]

Still sorting through field photos and daa from yesterday, so here is a nice bloop from yesterday. This is spatter flying from a vent which is beneath an active lava channel! #Geldingadalir

[Edward W. Marshall @Tetraheedra]

Getting the most recent three #Geldingadalir lava samples dissolved for trace elements! The recent erupted lavas may show some interesting chemical variations that we need to verify. Stay tuned! #cleanlab #geochemistry

[Jacqueline Grech Licari @GrechLicari]

Today was another successful trip with the #Volcanology Research Group of @uni_iceland to the #Geldingadalir #eruption site. At 14.15, a huge spillover broke out from the lava channel of the youngest vents. This provided a great opportunity to sample fresh lava from the area.

[Rob Askew @RobAskew2]

Very nice comparison. Now it just needs Laki @kate_volc or Eldgjá @volcano_will
