Katla Geopark

Volcanic rock moss landscape Iceland has a unique tundra landscape, many places covered with dense moss, soft texture. Because of the cold climate in Iceland, moss grows very slowly and, once damaged, it takes decades or even hundreds of years to recover, so it cannot be trampled or pulled at will.

Iceland | What does the volcano look like after the eruption? Enter the active volcano Katla Geopark area refers to the Eyjafjallajökull Eyafiandra ice sheet area, covered under it a 1666-meter-high volcano, which has erupted frequently since the Ice Age. Volcanoes that caused widespread traffic paralysis in Europe erupted twice on March 20 and April 15, 2010, with April eruptions having a severe impact on air traffic in Europe. Around Christmas 2009, a series of thousands of small earthquakes were detected in the volcanic area, most of them of magnitude 1 and magnitude 2, and the source was 7 and 2 kilometers deep below the volcano. On February 26, 2010, the Iceland Meteorological Agency recorded a series of unusual seismic activity accompanied by crustal expansion. Geophysicists believe this is evidence that magma below the crust was pressed into the magma chamber of the volcano, and that the pressure generated by this process caused a violent crustal dislocation. Seismic activity continues to increase.... Nearly 3,000 earthquakes were recorded between March 3 and 5. The eruption began on March 20, 2010, in a famous mountaineering area 8 km east of the volcano's top fire mouth. The volcano erupted between 1821 and 1823 before 2010. Earlier eruptions were recorded in 1612 and 920. The crater is about 3 to 4 kilometers in diameter and the glacier covers an area of 100 square kilometers. The place standing today is the original volcanic lake bottom, 10 years ago, the eruption, so that the formation completely subverted, the lake bottom appeared, the lake water gushed downstream, then the downstream residents were suffering. The formation of ash and cup lids in the film are new landscapes formed in the past decade, Iceland has 32 volcanic regions, 45 major volcanoes in the country, volcano observers work really important. New landscapes mean new opportunities and changes, and now the original volcanic lake bottom has become a geological park, awe of nature, strains are instantaneous, the earth is recurring, and humans appear so small in the face of natural forces.
