Brennisteinsalda

Highly colourful Brennisteinsalda (transl.: sulphur wave) is a rhyolithic lava dome situated at the caldera rim of Torfajökull volcanic system. It has a high temperature geothermal area at its feet as can be seen by the steam. In the foreground right is Laugahraun, an obsidian lava flow which originated from the flanks of Brennisteinsalda in the last (1477) eruption. Brennisteinsalda (übersetzt. Schwefelwelle) ist ein rhyolithischer Lavadom am Calderarand des Torfajökull. Der Dampf stammt vom Hochtemperaturgebiet zu Füßen des Bergs, rechts vorne ist der Obsidian-Lavastrom Laugahraun, der beim letzten Ausbruch 1477 aus der Flanke des Bergs austrat. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brennisteinsalda

Hnausapollur Panorama

Hnausapollur (also called Bláhylur) is an explosion crater/maar at the southern end of the Bárðarbunga fissure swarm near Landmannalaugar. The cones and craters in that area were formed by explosive fissure eruptions In 870 (Vatnaöldur) and 1480 (Veiðivötn).With 3,3 respectively 6,7 km³ basaltic tephra these were the largest hydromagmatic fissure eruptions in historic times. The major worry during the 2014/15 Holuhraun eruption was that a dyke would turn southwest from Bárðarbunga and trigger an eruption which would have endangered the hydroelectric power plants in the area (contingency plans including the blowing-up of dams were made). Hnausapollur (auch Bláhylur genannt) ist ein Maar in der Nähe von Landmannalaugar am südlichen Ende des Bárðarbunga- Spaltensystems, 100 km vom Zentralvulkan entfernt. Die Kraterreihen in der Gegend entstanden durch explosive Spalteneruptionen im Jahr 870 (Vatnaöldur) und 1480 (Veiðivötn). Mit 3,3 bzw. 6,7 km³ basaltischer Tephra waren dies die größten hydromagmatischen Eruptionen in historischer Zeit. Die größte Sorge während der Holuhraun-Eruption 2014/15 war, dass der Vulkan auch einen Ausbruch nach Südwesten auslösen könnte, der die Wasserkraftwerke in der Gegend zerstört hätte- Notfallpläne inklusive Sprengung von Staudämmen lagen in der Schublade.
