Three (my assessment against the IMO is that there are five) active craters on the eruption

Land fall is still measured in Svartsengi

22.11.2024

IMO Updated November 22 at 14:50

Activity in three craters fairly stable since yesterday.

The progress of the lava tongue at Svartsengi is quite slow.

Landsig is measured in Svartsengi.

Risk assessment updated, valid until November 25, all things being equal.

Since yesterday, three areas have been active on the fissure between Stóra-Skógfell and Sýlingarfell. Activity in them was quite stable last night, but the most activity is in the crater in the middle. Little changes have been observed in the eruption turbulence, which is consistent with the constant activity in the eruption. The lava flow is mainly to the west and that lava stream comes from the crater in the middle, but lava from the southern and northern part of the crater mostly flows to the east, but does not threaten any infrastructure there. 

The advance of the lava north of the defense walls at Svartsengi has slowed considerably. The shale there has encountered an obstruction in the terrain and is spreading north from the defenses and thickening. Compared to the initial phase of the eruption, the flow of lava from the fissure has decreased significantly, but there is still considerable flow from the active craters, especially to the west.

I am a geologist by profession and training. This is an educational channel devoted mostly to spread of geological knowledge and education. I work hard to make the material you see presented to you in this short concise videos. Please support this channel by "LIKE"ing and sharing the videos and help them to be seen. I am making many videos every month. It is a constant stream of unique graphics and presentations of scientifically accurate and timely information about volcanoes. I am here for you to report everything about this fascinating subject. This is my expertise, my professional training, my education and my job.
Please if you feel you like them, support my work by using the Super Thanks and membership of the channel. Thank you.
Some of the images are produced by recent advances in Artificial Intelligence. They are just pretty pictures that AI is producing when a text describes a volcanic event or geological phenomenon for them. They are by no means represent the reality and are used here only for their graphical merits.

A great source for live views of the volcano in Reykjanes Peninsula is the amazing mbl.is YouTube channel. Please SUBSCRIBE and like and share their live YouTube camera views here to help their work be known. Iceland depends on tourism and beyond the Reykjanes Peninsula there are plenty of sites with world class tourist attractions. If you want to help Iceland, plan a holiday to this amazing country. Icelandic people are kind and welcoming people and their food and cousin is second to none. The clip of starting moments of the eruption is courtesy of mbl Iceland.

The team that designed the dikes at Grindavík and Svartsengi gained a lot of experience in designing and making them when experiments were carried out with dikes during the eruption at Fagradalsfjall in 2021. It was not surprising to the team when the dikes passed the test in the eruption on January 14.

Hörn Hrafnsdóttir, water resources engineer at Verkís and assistant professor at the Department of Environmental and Civil Engineering at the University of Helsinki, and Sólveig Kristín Sigurðardóttir, geotechnical engineer at Verkís, are on the dam team.
