🧊🌊 Originally describing subglacial floods from Iceland's Vatnajökull, 'jökulhlaup' now refers to any sudden, large water release from glaciers. It's a fascinating blend of geology and linguistics! #Glaciology #LanguageOfScience

🌡️Jökulhlaups are often triggered by geothermal heat or volcanic eruptions under glaciers.
🧊Vatnajökull in Iceland is especially known for these dramatic events.

📰"A minor flood is underway at Grímsvatn, reducing pressure and increasing eruption chances," explains Magnús Tumi. Authorities remain vigilant as the situation evolves. #VolcanicActivity via mbl.is

📈A significant 4.3 magnitude earthquake was recorded at Grímsvötn this morning, the largest since measurements began, reports the Icelandic Meteorological Office. #EarthquakeUpdate #SeismicActivity

Prof. Magnús Tumi anticipates a volcanic eruption in the coming seasons at Grímsvötn. The exact timing remains uncertain, but geological signs are being closely observed. #VolcanoWatch

🌊The jökulhlaup is expected to be minor, originating from Skeiðarjökull and flowing into Gígjukvísl. Though small, this event is closely monitored due to its potential implications. #jökulhlaup #iceland

No worries! See you in Iceland ;) ❤️🌋

We’re just slowly ripping apart no explosion here :)
The eruption is close to the town of Grindavík and the Blue Lagoon but lava currently flowing away from major infrastructure.
