Iceland Volcano Update: 15 minutes ago | The Icelands Officials FINAL WARNING Terrifies Whole World
Icelandic authorities rushed to block volcanic lava from reaching a power plant near the erupting volcano. A volcanic eruption in the Icelandic town of Grindavík is underway, and lava is threatening the surrounding infrastructure. Now, immediate action must be taken to prevent the lava from reaching the Svartsengi Power Station.
The latest eruption was characterized by heavy lava flows, one of the highest ever recorded in recent activity, covering major roads and threatening infrastructure in Grindavík and surrounding areas. Emergency teams have used water from fire trucks to cool the growing lava. Although simple, this method requires large amounts of water and a powerful pump.
However. The research team looked at this problem from a geochemical and geophysical perspective. First, the team used geochemistry to look at the composition of the lava and recognize similarities between samples taken several miles away. These findings indicate that all the eruptions were triggered by a magma reservoir located 9 to 12 kilometers below the surface.
