Fagradalsfjall Volcanic Eruption Before Sunrise, Iceland

The Fagradalsfjall volcanic eruption, which began in March 2021, marked a significant geological event on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland. This eruption was notable for its relatively gentle effusive activity, characterized by the emission of lava flows rather than explosive volcanic eruptions. The eruption site, located near the Fagradalsfjall mountain, attracted considerable attention from scientists and tourists alike due to its accessibility and the stunning visual displays of flowing lava.
The eruption was preceded by a series of earthquakes, signaling the movement of magma beneath the surface. This seismic activity is common in Iceland, which sits on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a tectonic boundary where the North American and Eurasian plates are diverging. The eruption itself produced impressive lava fountains and created vast fields of basaltic lava, reshaping the landscape.
Over the course of several months, the eruption underwent various phases, with periods of intensified activity and quieter times.

🚨🌋 Spectacle enflammé au Japon ! 🌋⚡

Le volcan Sakurajima est entré en éruption il y a quelques heures, offrant un show aussi fascinant que terrifiant ! 🔥
Et cerise sur le cratère 🌋➡️ un éclair volcanique s'est invité dans le chaos, illuminant la scène d'une lueur apocalyptique. ⚡🔥

Neolithic ‘sun stones’ sacrificed in Denmark to revive the sun after volcanic eruption

Around 4,900 years ago, Neolithic communities on the Danish island of Bornholm ritually buried hundreds of engraved stones, so-called “sun stones,” in a remarkable act to counter drastic climate changes caused by a massive volcanic eruption...

Been streaming this live since I first got up this morning (about six hours now) and the core of the fountain has clearly moved "forward" toward the camera, although it's still hidden behind the crater wall

Main outflow stream has also moved "foward" toward the camera and is *very* vigorous -- to the point you can actually see the darker, cooled surface of the stream actually "sloshing" like a thick gravy just above the incandescent, fluid stream

Unfortunately (as it's Christmas, I'd guess) the camera is clearly unstaffed and is running on auto

UPDATE: there is one zoom-in at about 08:38 local time (see the timestamp, upper left)

Love to see a zoom out and a pan off to the left to get a sense of what the wider scope of all this is

But this sucker has really lit off, just in time for Christmas

"The icy winters of 1817 to 1820 were a long-term effect of the eruption of Mt Tambora in 1815 (which also caused the Year with No Summer, in 1816.)

Mastodon NZPeter Gainsford (@KiwiHellenist@mastodon.nz)While some elements of Santa are older than the 1820s, and some more recent, my own sense is that it was the events ot 1817-1823 that cemented his core elements. That's when Santa became independent of St Nicholas -- with a wintry combination of reindeer, sleigh, fur, and Christmas. The icy winters of 1817 to 1820 were a long-term effect of the eruption of Mt Tambora in 1815 (which also caused the Year with No Summer, in 1816). Could you say, then, that Santa is a volcano god? 14 and end/
