LAVAcentre (Facebook)🌋 What’s a Fissure Eruption? 🌋
Ever wondered what happens when the Earth literally splits open? That’s a fissure eruption - a stunning volcanic event where lava bursts through long cracks in the ground, creating glowing rivers of molten rock. Unlike a classic cone-shaped volcano, fissure eruptions can stretch for kilometers, shaping the land in dramatic ways.
Nowhere showcases this better than Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula, which has been incredibly active in recent years. Since 2021, ten fissure eruptions have transformed this region, with the most recent starting in November 2024. Lava flows have even reached landmarks like the Blue Lagoon, showing the unstoppable power of nature.
At the LAVA Centre, we bring these extraordinary events to life. Learn the science behind fissure eruptions and see how they’re shaping Iceland’s past, present, and future. It’s a fiery experience you won’t forget!
