The magma that has been squeezed into the #Bardarbunga volcanic - TopicsExpress



          

The magma that has been squeezed into the #Bardarbunga volcanic system has finally found its way to the surface between the icecap and the huge Askja caldera. By erupting here there is less risk of violent explosions caused by hot lava coming into contact with cold ice. The fissure is about 900m long with lava spilling out along its length. In time the eruption may begin to focus on just one or two vents leaving others as spatter cones. Is this the final chapter? Who knows!
