Thanks @astro-slawosz.bsky.social for visiting us at #CBKPAN to return the patch of the 1st Pole in space and add your own #IGNIS patch having been as 2nd Pole in space! Ready to inspire a new generation of our students! 🚀🌖

I have trouble seeing how these felsic veins and dykes at Austurhorn #Icelqnd could have come in by pyroclastic processes and not flow of a fluid magma at 2-3km depth?
Any papers to suggest @fabianwadsworth.bsky.social @htuffen.bsky.social or others working on tuffisite veins et al?

...and then we went on to Reyðarártindur pluton, with it's roof contact showing hot interactions between granite and basalt in the roofs, even with a conduit and faults in the roof!

The second day the Tertiary Slaufrudalur pluton revealed itself magnificently (low ☁️ are regular here...), an example of a shallow granitic #magma pluton with roof contacts beautifully exposed for geologists ready to scramble upslope 🤩

The #LASI7 post-conf fieldtrip in SE #Iceland was a blast!
On day 1 Gudmundur Omar took us into the heart of #Geitafell, once a central #volcano.
We saw the gabbro intrusion that once sat at 2-3 km depth, and the most impressive sheet intrusion complex above that once fed #lava flows!

Visited the inspiring George Walker museum in Breiddalsvik in #Iceland last week, saw one of my most inspiring collaborators & friend @claireharnett.bsky.social win the @iavcei.bsky.social Walker award yesterday. What a boost, congrats Claire! 🤩🌋

@iavcei.bsky.social just awarded the well-deserved Thorarinsson medal to planetary volcanism visionary Prof Lionel Wilson. An example for all of us, congrats!!!

I was followed by an amazing talk by Eleonora Rivalta on magma propagation and stress fields. What a great start to this conference!

Visiting the George Walker museum in Breiðdalsvík today is just such an eye-opening lesson again in field work documentation. His notebooks and hand-drawn maps are absolutely amazing in their detail and rigour 🤩🌋

Ready to check out our DJI RTK antenna in Borgarfjordur in NE #Iceland! Prepping for exciting drone flights tomorrow 🤩
Thx @ncn.gov.pl for the gear!

Visiting #Grindavik in #Iceland silences even the most experienced volcanologists. We saw cracked up streets, fenced areas, and cracked houses leaning forward in which cups, pictures and toys still sat in the window. Volcanism has real impact on people's lives.

Great reception at the #Askja building of @haskoliislands.bsky.social discussing our #DAGGER field work plans in East #Iceland and #LASI7 conference planning! Thanks to all!
