#Torfajökull
Barmur mountain is actually the rim of the Torfajökull caldera but more people will recognize this place as Landmannalaugar

🇮🇸 🌋 #Torfajökull 🟩

Good morning, dear ones 👋 🤗 🥰

Wishing you a wonderful late-summer Sunday in the golden October 🍁🍂

In Iceland’s largest geothermal area, there was a small swarm earthquake, but it’s not really volcanic – though you only find such beautiful areas at volcanoes. 😍

Hi as 🦋 newbie: I'm a #volcanologist & environmental scientist at Lancaster Environment Centre (UK). My research: volcanic conduit processes, rhyolitic eruptions, and #magma #degassing, also increasingly #soils and #microplastics. Directed only taught #volcanology Masters in UK: tinyurl.com/MScVandE

On the left is a mountainrange called #Barmur which is actually the crater rim of the large Torfajökull caldera. The whole area is yellow due to rhyolite stone type and geothermal phenomenas #Landmannalaugar #fjallabak #highlands #iceland #trlt #landscape #landscapephotography #roadtrip #gravelroad

Both Askja and Torfajökull are capable of both lava flow and explosive eruptions!
I guess nobody wants to be misquoted about which volcano and when and which kind of eruptions? Headlines can be really good at messing stuff like that up…

Turbulence at Torfajökull

Elísabeth Pálmadóttir, a natural hazard specialist at the Icelandic Meteorological Office ➞ She says there have been tremors in this area in recent days, which may not have been very high due to earthquakes elsewhere in the country.

It was literally the best week ever here! We laughed so much watching foreign news! But sorry! I see that I misspelled. It is not Torfafjallajökull, only Torfajökull. Or Torfajökulsaskja, if you want to get specific!

But Askja (the big one) is pretty easy, right?

Don't be surprised, this Veðurstofa Íslands / Icelandic Met Office report includes 3 volcanoes ... and is dated August 15, 2023, and so far, very little has happened at Torfajökull ...

Back in 2005, 30 of our 6TD seismometers were shipped off to the Torfajökull region of Iceland. The aim of the deployment was to understand the persistent small scale seismicity in the region and gain a better understanding of the low frequency seismicity.

It seems I was mistaken - I highlighted the hydrothermal area.

The geophysicist Professor Halldór Geirsson, University of Iceland, says in the interview that the caldera has been sinking for decades.

Hello and good day, dear ones 👋 🤗 🥰

Yes, now and then earthquake rarities surprise us - but mostly it stays that way

Also ➜ The area of Torfajökull is highly hydrothermal and hosts the largest and most powerful high-temperature geothermal field in Iceland

... my 15 years of observation ➠ there are hardly any earthquakes in the Icelandic winter.

Here are some more information and as far as I know, Torfajökull is the only lava dome formation in Iceland

Good morning dear ones 🤗 🥰

Something's happening in the Torfajökull geothermal area – this time there are even small, measurable earthquakes.

Winter is over, and due to the thawing of water and the increased mobility of gas molecules, this can happen from time to time – ...

Two #tourists in #Iceland were rescued from the ford across #Dalakvísl, north of #Torfajökull, yesterday. Teams from #Skaftártunga and #Hella assisted them in a #rescue that took a great deal of time, because of the conditions.
