I still don't understand how the fence didn't burn down but It was very fortunate that the lava did not take the fourth house during eruption number 5 in January. One of them was totally submerged in lava and can't be seen. This singe fissure opened up wishing the new lava barriers that you can see in the background and they are still not ready since it was decided recently to extend them around the complete village.

That is the saddest video I have seen yet - all those dreams and hopes destroyed. Yet it was also fascinating to see the lava formations and their destructiveness up close. The music was particularly affecting. Thank you for sharing with us…..the bad, the ugly, and the good, the beautiful.

@edwardlulofs444 6 месяцев назад

I wonder if the fence is metal; or this is due to the cold wind strongly blowing off the cold ocean. It’s a good reflection of how tough the Icelandic people are. Maybe it should become a symbol for the strong Icelandic people.

@Verndadur 6 месяцев назад

The lava flow was extremely slow in this area so the lava is most likely pushing cold and harden lava in front of the flow that is not radiating much heat. If it was fresh lava this will burn because the heat radiation is then much greater.

@ivanviehoff6025 6 месяцев назад

Pahoehoe is the smooth and rippled type of solidified lava, which is a consequence of low viscosity of the lava. Higher viscosity, and it solidfies in blocky form like this, known as 'a'a. You see both kinds in Iceland, but I would say in general 'a'a is more common. I draw similar conclusions from places like Iceland, New Zealand, Etna, Azores, etc

@johannageisel5390 6 месяцев назад

Wood does not catch fire as quickly as one would think and then it was winter too. The wood is probably wet. So, when you remove the lava, there are probably charred marks where it touched the wood, but it was not able to create an actual, self-sustaining flame.

@erinmac4750 5 месяцев назад

Watching that lava push into some structures and not others reminded me of tornadoes, which can cut a swath through neighborhoods or somehow dodge a house or a tree.

It looks like the fence offered enough open space for outgassing that the solidifying and cooling of the lava there happened faster. Fast enough for the wood not catching fire. I fave made this suggestion before: Make fences of steel tube that will have water running through them. This will help stopp lava flows and may even become something like an embedded geothermal energy source. I think it would work. Another great video, by the way.
