Lava flooding Nátthagi valley (East Wall breached) 22.05

What's everything has to do about the media, The media will show something about this lava in Iceland if something happens to people's homes but right now it's isn't no threat to no one that means the media has other problems that's going to this world besides looking at the lava all day by wasting time.

Approximately how many kilometers are the dirt walls from the volcano? It's so surprising to see how hot and fluid the lava is after traveling a long distance. Thank you for your very informative videos. Take care!

[@TheRocco96]

I believe the lava flows through tunnels underneath the solidified top layer of lava. That's how it stays fluid and hot while travelling long distance.

[@goodjohnpanda3958]

1.8 kilometers

[@amyzander3541]

@@TheRocco96 Sometimes river sometimes tunnels. It takes weeks to cool, rock is pretty well insulated especially more glassy rock it can retain heat for a very long time. So those two factors make lava go a very long way.. it doesn't lose that much heat. Below the crusty hard stuff is red lava a few cm...

[@jamesbong7852]

The next few kms will be reached in far quicker time, that's for sure!!

[@SooziKew]

Eventually it might make more sense just to let the lava cross the highway. Provide ferry service around the flow, and clear the highway when this is all over.

[@gustavmeyrink_2.0]

Once the lava flows over the highway their won't be any of it left underneath worth clearing. May be some traces but bear in mind that molten rock/lava has a temperature far higher than the melting point of tarmac.

They better start building that really high bridge to let the lava flow under it and keep the highway open! Or at least start splicing the internet cables to go over the lava flow.😜

[@ShineHatfield]

I'm not at all surprised that the wall was breached. 4 meters is really short for the amount of lava coming from this vent

[@rozkolec]

Lava completely changes the local topography. It appears that with a continuous, big volume flow, driven downward by gravity, lava can accumulate, fill any depression and cross any barrier if it is below its source. If this eruption will last long enough, soon we will see a new shield volcano in Iceland. Gutn Tog , are you ready to keep reporting eruption events during the next few years? How will you get there when the road will be blocked by lava flowing into the ocean? Best regards and take care.

I was looking at the walls, the lava edge wall behind them seemed metres higher, though it was hard to tell fromvideos, but i thought those walls were way too low to be effective.
