Iceland's Volcanoes and Glaciers

Order: Reorder
Duration: 45:09
Updated: 12 Dec 2013

A look at the geologic history of Iceland and how the forces of fire and ice -- volcanoes and glaciers -- played a role together in the island's formation. Iceland is a Nordic island country situated at the confluence of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The country has a population of about 320,000 and a total area of 103,000 km2 (40,000 sq mi), which makes it the most sparsely populated country in Europe. The capital and largest city is Reykjavík, with the surrounding areas in the southwestern region of the country being home to two-thirds of the country's population. Reykjavik is the most northern capital in the world. Iceland is volcanically and geologically active. The interior consists mainly of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains and glaciers, while many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle. A geologically young land, Iceland is located on both the Iceland hotspot and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which runs right through it. This location means that the island is highly geologically active with many volcanoes, notably Hekla, Eldgjá, Herðubreið and Eldfell. The volcanic eruption of Laki in 1783--1784 caused a famine that killed nearly a quarter of the island's population; the eruption caused dust clouds and haze to appear over most of Europe and parts of Asia and Africa for several months afterward. Iceland has many geysers, including Geysir, from which the English word is derived, and the famous Strokkur, which erupts every 5--10 minutes. After a phase of inactivity, Geysir started erupting again after a series of earthquakes in 2000. Geysir has since then grown quieter and does not erupt often. With the widespread availability of geothermal power, and the harnessing of many rivers and waterfalls for hydroelectricity, most residents have access to inexpensive hot water, heating and electricity. The island itself is composed primarily of basalt, a low-silica lava associated with effusive volcanism as has occurred also in Hawaii. Iceland, however, has a variety of volcanic types (composite and fissure), many producing more evolved lavas such as rhyolite and andesite. Iceland has hundreds of volcanoes within approx. 30 volcanic systems active. Surtsey, one of the youngest islands in the world, is part of Iceland. Named after Surtr, it rose above the ocean in a series of volcanic eruptions between 8 November 1963 and 5 June 1968. Only scientists researching the growth of new life are allowed to visit the island. On 21 March 2010, a volcano in Eyjafjallajökull in the south of Iceland erupted for the first time since 1821, forcing 600 people to flee their homes. Further eruptions on 14 April forced hundreds of people to abandon their homes. The resultant cloud of volcanic ash brought major disruption to air travel across Europe. Another large eruption occurred on 21 May 2011. This time it was the Grímsvötn volcano, located under the thick ice of Europe's largest glacier, Vatnajökull. Grímsvötn is one of Iceland's most active volcanoes and this eruption was much more powerful than the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull activity. The eruption hurled ash and lava 20 km (12.43 mi) up into the atmosphere, creating a large cloud that for a while was thought to pose a danger to jet aircraft over a wide area of northern Europe.

Glaciers - So Many Dynamos
Glaciers - Thoushaltnot

Top So Many Dynamos, Glaciers

Glaciers will melt but we'll be alright.
We still have novels and songs to write.
We'll go on living just like we do.
We'll keep evolving if we have to.
Earthquakes will finish what's been started.
We'll make a point to disregard it.
We'll go on living like we always do.
New feet, new lungs.
Sharp teeth, sharp tongues.
Soft hands, soft hearts.
Fresh air, fresh start.
Glaciers will melt but we'll be alright.
We still have novels and songs to write.
We'll go on living just like we do.
We'll keep evolving if we have to.
Landslides will keep us from ignoring.
We'll still be here tomorrow morning.

Top Thoushaltnot, Glaciers

Awaken the wolves
For my dreams have grown too quiet once again
Give me howling of footsteps
As time ambles drunk over tundra-glazed earth
Somewhere in the snow
Are the frozen tears and the teeth that battle broke
Twelve winters ago
When aging was living and murder was birth
Taste the cells dividing
All to come and all that's been
See the glaciers fighting
Melting over, pushing underneath your skin
Surrender your warmth
To find where ice crystals end and body starts
We walk the line
Between breath and wind and death and gravity
Awaken the martyr inside
And the ground that's solid, cold, and petrified
Before I open my eyes
Can you thaw this away and give my past to me?
Taste the cells dividing
All to come and all that's been
See the glaciers fighting
Melting over, pushing underneath your skin
Awaken the wolves
When the January moon needs lullabies
Awaken the wolves
When the sun's bright passion cannot reach the skies
Awaken the wolves
'Cause we're all alone here on the plains of frost
Awaken the wolves
And when we wake ourselves, shall winter's memory be lost?
Taste the cells dividing
All to come and all that's been
See the glaciers fighting
