After months of increasing earthquakes and an episode of volcanic tremor on the Reykjanes peninsula a fissure eruption finally has started on the evening of 19.03.21. It is a small one (what Icelanders call a tourist eruption) at Geldingadalur, Fagradalsfjall- somewhere among the hills in the main photo. Geophysicists have analyzed the lava: very primitive olivine rich basalt from a depth of 17-20km, straight from the mantle. It is expected that this eruption will be the start of a decades/ centuries long volcano-tectonic episode on the Reykjanes peninsula- the last one was 800 years ago.

Die kleine Spalteneruption, die am Freitagabend auf der Reykjanes-Halbinsel begonnen hat, wird von den Isländern als "Touristeneruption" bezeichnet und am Wochenende waren Tausende durch wegloses und sehr anspruchsvolles Gelände dorthin unterwegs. Das erforderte in der Nacht den EInsatz von 140 Rettungskräften, um schlecht ausgerüsteten, unterkühlten Leuten aus Mooren etc. zu helfen. Die Lava wurde inzwischen analysiert, es ist primitiver, olivinhaltiger Basalt aus einer Tiefe von 17-w0km, direkt aus dem Erdmantel. Man geht davon aus, dass auf der Reykjanes-Halbinsel eine vullkanisch-tektonische Episode begonnen hat, die (mit Unterbrechungen) Jahrhunderte dauern kann- die letzte Episode war vor 800 Jahren.

SH06: a bus SC110- Buses (Sorry about recycling older photos, I didn't manage anything new this week) This bus is an Electric- Diesel- hybrid, some in Stuttgart's fleet are also Hydrogen-Diesel hybrids, but still too many run solely on Diesel. The very hilly topography serves as an excuse... Norway is much better- Trondheim buses are fully electric. This one gets it's energy from the neighbouring building that produces more energy than it uses.

SH41: A picture taken on holiday Well, with lockdown and curfew in place there are no more holidays to be had... So this weekend trip to the river Main just after the first Covid restrictions were eased will remain the only one. People observed their distance but enjoyed the good weather!

It's situated amid vineyards above a bend in the river Main in the Franconia region of Bavaria.
