Big Lava Lake Breakup - 4K Drone Footage, Iceland
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Shot in Iceland at Geldingadalur Eruption, normal speed, no time lapse
In the evening of June 2, a big lava lake started to break up over several minutes. The lake was completely roofed over (covered by a solid lava crust). Suddenly, cracks appeared in the roof and molten lava emerged rapidly between the cracks and flowed over the still roofed parts of the lake. As the lava advanced, new cracks formed in the roof and new lava emerged. This process is called crustal foundering. The solid, heavy roof pieces sink into the lake made of less dense, fluid lava.

R/C drone is made in china
Absolutely.

what up...
what is that mean - SO WHAT - ???
It's called crustal overturning, solid lava is more dense than liquid so the crust will break up and sink. That was a great video! Looks like it might be the lake growing under the crust and breaking out too.
In Hawaii it's called foundering.
@@bandit6048 I'm used to it being called foundering as well.
looks like there is a lava tube bringing some new lava in this pond. it is crazy how it breaks the existing crust and the speed it spreads.
Imagine 30-40 years of this (or possibly Much More)!
@@bandit6048 It's called that too. Both are correct terms and not specific to any region.
This is an incredible production.
Thank you:)
I've watched this four times now and it's still just as mesmerizing as it was the first time.
That is a fantastic example of Crustal Foundering.
Layer by layer. By fire and by wind, a shield is forged. Epic Thank you for sharing!
Amazing! It really shows that no matter how cool it looks on the surface, white hot magma is only inches below the surface. Thank you for this!
Saddam ali I love
WHAAAAATTT. that is insane footage. The massive weight of the new overflow cracking and tipping the roof of the acres of chamber, and out comes yet more LAAAVVVAAAA!!!!
This has to be the most photogenic volcnanic eruption ever recorded.
1- It's easy to do now with the newest phones and cameras!
2- The Icelandic government, fully embraced from the get-go, that this was a huge opportunity to "stimulate" their economy. Travel restrictions were eased. Up close and personal visits are helped and encouraged by all levels of government there.
3- Unlike the USGS during the recent Kilauea eruption, who locked down all access and FORBADE drones of any kind anywhere over the park. Only thru the efforts of a few local people, who the government couldn't lock out, was virtually ANY video acquired. Absolutely a shame so much was not documented as this eruption will be!
@@drteknical6571 💯🤙
@@drteknical6571 This! So much This it hurts. Was extremely frustrating with the hawaii eruption.
@@drteknical6571 Well at first the lava lake started with a massive steam cloud due to the existing water.
And don't forget Kilauea can become explosive like it has done 3 times. 2018 and in the 1700s
@@KaiserStormTracking Still no reason to ban drone footage! Drone at your own risk.
This is absolutely phenomenal, inçredible footage and what a spectacular sight thank you so much!! Wow.
Thank you!:)
I don't think I've ever before seen lava bubbling up from the ground just before the big lave flow gets to it. That is amazing to watch. Thank you for the video.
This was awesome, in the true meaning of the word. It was passing by too quickly so I started over at .25x without sound. I kept saying wow wow...WHAT? whoa WOW! WT...?! It was mind boggling to see how hot it is under the crust and how the molten lava pushed the edges of the crust up and under. Absolutley stunning footage. Thank you. If you get a chance to do this again, woud it be possible to occasionally angle up briefly to orient in relation to the volcano itself? I appreciate this so much since I am unable to be there myself.
Wow!! This perfectly illustrates why the path that leads to a hill almost completely surrounded by lava is now roped off. The expectation is the lava will overflow the path at any moment now, and more quickly than people might think. Seeing this video gave me the perspective in a stark and amazing way! I'm also seeing that too many foolish ones are stepping over the barricade and going up the hill anyhow. (Seeing from videos - I'm not there, even though I would like to be - and I truly appreciate this footage!)
I have been watching the foolish people ignore the barricade warnings & going up the hill as well. I hope that no one was stuck when the lava cut off the path but it would've been their own stupid faults.
@@5Heth
Exactly, unfortunately fools who do stuff like that put others in jeopardy! It's maddening sometimes.
@@5Heth Fortunately the run-over happened about 7am on a very foggy dreary day so nobody was up there. If it had been nice and sunny I think the local helicopter companies would have had a very profitable day ;)
This is brilliant footage thank you so much it’s amazing
Thanks:)
Absolutely amazing....the dramatic music however😩
I was overwhelmed by the music. I was getting
increasingly irritated as it progressed.
@@danielmconnolly7 Volume was definitely off!
wish I could hear the raw audio
@@fauxxuaf
You know you have buttons to turn sound on or off... right?😏
agreed - loved the video had to silence that awful music
Incredible footage THANKYOU
WOW.... And REALLY beautiful camera work and editing! OUTSTANDING!!!!!
Thank you!
“I’ve never seen anything like it in my life” 🎶
That was Spectacular
Thank you🌈
So different to the crawling, clinking juggernaut of the meters-high wall of partially solidified lava we saw at the beginning of this eruption. Fascinating!
Of ALL the Icelandic Volcano videos, THIS is my absolute favorite!!!! Truly PHENOMENAL!!!! Thanks for posting this!!!!
Happy to hear that!
Mother Earth is Amazing
I'd LOVE to figure out the Fluid Dynamics behind this phenomena.
Not sure in what detail you want to figure it out (it could be very challenging mathematically) but what's happening is basically that lava is being delivered below the surface from lava tube, increasing the vertical pressure under the frozen crust, which cracks (easily since it's quite fragile). The cracks propagate and loose pieces sink - unlike water and ice, the solid rock is denser than the liquid. The pressure makes the lava ooze out and override more crust which breaks and sinks.
Lava tubes form from flows of lava that get roofed over. Insulated and flowing they can extend for kilometers. Sometimes they drain out when their source stops feeding them, leaving long tubular caves that can be found in volcanic regions around the world.
Hope this helps.
The main thing is that unlike water ice, solidified lava is denser and thus heavier than the liquid below. A layer of ice will float atop a frozen lake. A surface layer of solidified lava is only held up by its own tensile strength. As soon as it breaks under the strain, the pieces sink below, displacing the liquid which wells up through the cracks and causes further pieces of the crust to sink.
Pressure vs gravity.
The lava we saw at the start wasn't normal for this part of Iceland but in may when the lava fountains started it became basalt normal for the region
A great video with just one movement, no boring endless turns left and right, that was perfect so that we can focus and concentrate on the volcanic activity.
Too many people forget we don't care about the capacity of their drone or their driving skills, all we need is a perfect footage to enjoy the ongoing activity, thank you for that.
thanks, glad you like it:)
Great and magnificent to see!👌👍😉
The force of nature is just incredible!
That was incredible to watch. Absolutely stunning footage.
Now you can see why you mustn't walk on lava that seems to be black, hardened and cooled down!
Amazing footage!
Every time you think you have figured out how volcanoes work, they throw a new curveball at you.
The speed at which the lava travels is phenomenal . Such a good video , thanks .
Excellent footage. Well done
Seeing how fast a new wave of lava can spread across that surface make me realise just how quickly things could change on that saddle point where the path to spectator hill goes. You could walk that way thinking 'the lava has stopped, I'm safe' then while watching the eruptions up close a wave of new lava could spread and cover the path back.
Such a beautiful outbreak to watch from your steady perspective! Thank you! 🌋
Thankyou. This has gone on my favourites list to show people who think walking on newly solidified lava must be safe.
The really cool thing about crustal foundering is that the entire surface of Venus apparently does this every so often.
Are you mixing up your planets etc? I'm not aware they'd even proved volcano's were still active on Venus, even though they likely are. Could you be thinking of the moon Io?
@@matthewbooth9265 I don't think Venus is geologically active anymore, but it is theorized that its entire surface underwent a similar process to this, but i would imagine it be more akin to global flood basalt events covering the surface rather than a surface crust breaking apart and sinking below. but that is more semantics. the end result is more or less the same. Pluto is also theorized to actively resurface itself, just with nitrogen and ices rather than lava and rock.
@@FLOABName I hope we get better views of venus in our lifetime. The russians did an amazing job even getting pictures back from the surface but that was over 40 years ago I think.
Europa is theorized to have volcanoes to some extent under its massive and i mean massive icecap
The combination of beauty and the feelings of astonishment and sheer terror this volcano evokes as it now grows into a beast can only be described by one word: Sublime. I think if you look up the definition of "sublime", it means a simultaneous sense of beauty and terror. By that definition, this eruption is truly sublime, and your videos are allowing thousands of people to experience an (IMHO) important and humbling emotion. I would do anything to be able to be there myself and experience the sublime firsthand. Your videos are the next best thing.
Thank you:)
This volcano is doing so many really cool things. I could watch this all day.
The music gives me a GOT feeling. Only now: "Hot is coming."
Outstanding photography.
Just so incredible and frightening the power of the lave thanks for this truly amazing.
Wow! The way the lava was building up it had to burst out somewhere. Great video.
Just imagine the diameter of the lava tube that was feeding this lake expansion! Huge!!
just wow. i am speechless, awesome footage and proper drone skills. wd.
thanks:)
Wow! Absolutely amazing! Something new every day. Thank you for your awesome work! 👍👍
glad you like it:)
Beautiful footage. Thank you for sharing this with us!!
😎🇺🇸
Magnificent!!!!! 💖 Thank you so much, Leon!💕
There's a few of you dudes getting utterly amazing footage with drones, drones were made for this stuff. I had one but it's in a tree now! Wouldn't be surprised if one of these vids won an Nat geo comp.
Thanks!:)
What astounded me was how far from the vent this is! Amazing!
Play it back at DOUBLE SPEED. HOLY MOLY!!!
Lol the music at double speed is not bad either
@@moving.quotes I had sound off. I'll have to turn it on!
@@moving.quotes GOOD music is good at any speed. I love the fast version.
Superb drone footage of the resurrection of “Bob”. Looks like an independent source of lava from “MiniMe”
but is this lava actually coming out of the original fissure from march or is this now an independent vent??
nature's art is unmatched
Amazing video and great music.
very many things that we thought to be true about volcanoes are being overturned and changed, stunning images, thank you for making this presentation.
What an awesome video with the drone. Very dramatic footage and the music matches it perfectly. This volcano will be a great learning experience for everyone. Makes you get a feeling for just how powerful a volcano can be and this is just a small one with small eruptions. Thanks!!
This is called “crustal foundering”. It happens because liquid lava is less dense than solid lava and rushes upward when a crack forms, pulling down the denser, solid lava.
Nature knows how to put on the best shows, and brilliant work with the drone to capture it in all its glory. At first, I assumed it was time-lapse, but the smoke gave away that it was real time footage.
Is this the same part of the lake where the crust had collapsed earlier, leaving a hollow?
Incredibly awesome!! 😲 Thank you so much!! 😎
Brilliant Drone work. Amazing footage. Great music. Thank You for sharing. Stay safe. 🙏
Thank you!
That was really quite remarkable!!!
Spectacular! Iceland is such a hardcore place to be!
Stunningly beautiful footage!
I'm so glad you posted this! I saw the lava coming from under the bottom of the volcano (top right in the beginning), filling this area and wondered if anyone else saw it..
Wow! Amazing it happened that quickly!
Great looking video, very nicely done drone shots from up above. Keep up the flying, it looks good. Thank you for sharing and have a good day
Proper flood basalt - amazing
Da sind ja mehrere Schichten Magma übereinander 😮
Amazing footage, great music, keep em coming.
Most awesome footage of crustal foundering I have ever seen. Seems to be emanating from the base of what we have been calling "Bob" NICE WORK!!!
thank you:)
This footage is awesome, thank you very much! Be carefully with manoeuvring your drone and make more of this fantastic videos.
Thanks again!
Thanks!
Wow, that is incredible! Thank you!
Such epic scale and volume
I should point out that the lava lake is defined as the pool of lava within the crater walls. The lava extrusion you have filmed is happening in a tongue of lava in a valley quite some distance from the crater itself. The new lava will either be coming from a new vent created under the tongue of lava itself as a result of pressure build-up in the magma chamber forcing lava out in a new direction, or it will be coming from an existing lava tube under the lava tongue, possibly forcing it's way up and out to the surface by breaking through a weak point in the roof of that lava tube.
Great footage though ! 👏
Spectacular work. Thanks for sharing. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍
Great pictures combined with awesome music- well edited! Love it
Thank you:)
Great because it shows what the surface of the lakes is like. So much sir my illusions that you could walk across parts of it. Thanks!
That is just so amazing, and great footage to catch too. Thank you.
Cool!
Stunning views! Thanks
Gives new meaning to Lavalamp :-)
Well done - phenomenal video!
incredible footage, thanks to the drones and the operators !
What i miss the most in all these volcano images is the scale since we don't have any visual marks, so i always check the free fall speed of the projectiles to try to have an idea, but even with this, it's hard sometimes to have a big picture but this can give you a good idea, like at 1:33.
Greetings from mother earth
Stunning!
Wow. What a beautiful footage. And this epic music - I can't stop watching it. You have created something wonderful. What drone did you use?
Thanks! I used the Mavic Air 2
Very well done. The flying and framing. Excellent. Makes me want to realize my dream to get a drone.
Wauwwww awesome♡♡♡ goosebumps!! Thank you so much.
Your videos are pure wonder to behold. Thank you.
Very special views, love it ! THX
Just totally awesome. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
glad you like it :)
this gave me goose bumps..lol
Amazing footage! Now I've finally worked how that happens lol
Excellent flying/camera work - you kept perfect pace with the emerging lava - so, so hard to do!
thank you!:)
congratz for this incredible view of the lava lake; epic and beautiful and i have never seen something like this before, really interesting and almost hipnotic , good job ! keep the great work
The visuals are outstanding...
Captivating...🇿🇦
This is amazing to watch 🤩
So cool how the lava wells from the ground on the leading edge
Simply amazing!!!
Superb quality and details!!!
Be interesting to see the temperature gradient below the lava. Is that big pool melting it's way down?
i am not sure, maybe a little if new, hot lava gets injected into the pool.
Earth making earth. Stunning. Terrifying.
Funny how "stunning" and "terrifying" work so well together! I believe if you look up the definition of "sublime", it would perfectly suit what the world is seeing in this volcano.
This is a well-known phenomenon also known as "foundering", when a lava lake starts to stir from below the crust. There's lots of good videos on RUclips
Thanks for sharing.
Incredible footage
thanks:)
