A small white single-engine propeller airplane (Daher TBM) with red accents sits motionless on a paved runway at the Keflavík International airport. Its landing lights are active, projecting bright circular beams onto the dark tarmac. The aircraft is centered, facing the camera, with its nose slightly elevated. The context shows twilight: the sky gradients from orange at the horizon to deep purple above, with a visible full moon in the upper left. Yellow runway markings extend into the distance, flanked by grassy fields and distant structures with faint lights. The surrounding landscape includes open terrain, trees, and low-lying buildings, creating a serene airport scene as the aircraft prepares for departure. A small single-engine propeller aircraft is in flight, its propeller blurred to indicate motion, with the sun positioned near the front of the plane, casting a bright light. The aircraft is oriented towards the sun, which appears low on the horizon. Below, the landscape features a large body of water surrounding a landmass with mixed terrain—green areas suggesting vegetation or fields and darker regions indicating urban development or hills. Distant landforms are visible on the horizon, with the sky transitioning from warm orange near the horizon to cool blue higher up, indicating twilight (either dawn or dusk). The scene includes calm water reflecting the sky's colors, and the overall environment suggests a coastal or island location. A small white single-engine airplane with red and blue stripes is flying over a large body of water during sunset. The aircraft is positioned lower in the frame, angled slightly upward with its nose pointing leftward. Below, the water stretches across most of the scene, bordered by a distant landmass with visible urban areas, rivers, and mountain ranges. The sky transitions from warm orange near the horizon to pale yellow higher up, with the sun low on the right side casting a bright glow. Multiple lens flares—green, red, and yellow circular highlights—appear near the sun and airplane, adding visual effects. The overall setting includes a coastal or inland water region at dusk, with the aircraft providing a sense of motion against the tranquil landscape. A small single-engine propeller aircraft with a high-wing configuration and visible vertical stabilizer is in flight. The plane appears to be moving forward, positioned above a vast mountainous landscape. The sky transitions from a warm orange near the horizon to a pale blue higher up, indicating sunrise or sunset. Below, the terrain features rugged mountains with patches of snow on their peaks, rolling hills covered in green vegetation, and winding river valleys. The land has a mix of dark, rocky areas and lighter, grassy regions, with distant paths or roads visible in the valleys. The overall scene combines the aircraft’s movement with the natural beauty of the mountainous terrain under a soft, colorful sky.

Hraunfossar; in Borgarfjörður, western Iceland) is a series of waterfalls formed by rivulets streaming over a distance of about 900 metres out of the Hallmundarhraun, a lava field which flowed from an eruption of one of the volcanoes lying under the glacier Langjökull. The waterfalls pour into Hvítá (Borgarfjörður), from ledges of less porous rock in the lava. The name comes from the Icelandic word for lava (hraun) and the word for waterfalls (fossar).[1] The Hraunfossar are situated near Húsafell and Reykholt and the Víðgelmir lava tube is close by.

By the inventors of the GLOF, aka Jökulhlaup! 🧊🌊

Few days ago, an ice-dammed lake overflowed on Langjökull gl.!
The flood did not cause issues, but its mechanics are interesting since water flowed both beneath and on top of the glacier!

A few days ago, we had a glacial outburst flood AKA Jökulhlaup. The water originated from an ice dammed lake by Langjökull glacier. The flood did not cause any issues downstream, but its mechanics are interesting since water flows both beneath and on top of the glacier.

🇮🇸 🌋 🧊 🌊 Langjökull 🟩

Good morning, dear ones 👋 🤗 🥰

When I just looked at the water level diagram, I thought there had been a second flood wave during the jökulhlaup. This happens when there are multiple chambers/areas.
But the experts from the IMO suspect an obstruction in the river - ...

1/2
Water level progression diagram from Vesturland: Hvítá, Svelti; V638 Water level of Hvítá River somewhat fluctuating tonight The water level of the Hvítá River in Borgarfjörður has been somewhat fluctuating overnight, rising and falling alternately, according to Steinunn Helgadóttir, a natural hazard expert at the Icelandic Meteorological Office. She says it is possible that some obstruction in the river caused this, but it will be easier to assess the situation as it becomes clearer. The flow in Hvítá has been gradually increasing since yesterday afternoon but appears to have reached equilibrium since around 4 am this morning. As it stands now, there appears to be no danger to the infrastructure, with the water reaching the same level as it was during the 2020 flood. The flood flows from Hafrafellslón into the channel of Svartá and from there into Hvítá in Borgarfjörður.

Water level in Hvítá unchanged from last night The flow from Hafrafellslón has been at its most stable overnight. The Icelandic Meteorological Office announced yesterday that a run has begun from the reservoir. The water level of the Hvítá River is currently around 300 centimeters and has not changed since 8:00 pm last night, according to Elísabet Pálmadóttir, a natural disaster expert at the Icelandic Meteorological Office. She says it is uncertain whether the peak of the flow has been reached or whether the river will continue to rise. The river flows into the Svartá River and from there into Hvítá River in Borgarfjörður. Residents near Hvítá River are advised to be aware of the potential impact on property and livestock on the banks of the river.

The race flows into the channel of Svartá and from there into Hvítá in Borgarfjörður. The reservoir's water level appears to be higher than ever before, so it cannot be ruled out that the flood will now be more extensive than in 2020. Residents in the area are advised to consider possible impacts on property and livestock on the banks of the Hvítá River. There is great uncertainty about the development of the runoff, but how fast the flow growth will be will determine much about the maximum flow and spread. The water level in Hafrafellslón, on the western edge of Langjökull, appears to be higher than ever before. In recent weeks, experts from the Icelandic Meteorological Office have been monitoring the development of the reservoir using satellite images. Hafrafellslón is a marginal reservoir and meltwater from the glacier accumulates in it during the summer. The last significant glacier outburst flood from the reservoir occurred in August 2020, and another smaller one occurred in the summer of 2021. Close-up of the area from Húsafell up to Langjökull. Map source: Icelandic Meteorological Office and National Land Survey of Iceland. Map from a report from 2021 Satellite images taken on August 20 showed signs that the reservoir had begun to empty. Yesterday, the Icelandic Meteorological Office received reports from people in the area that water had begun to flow from the reservoir over the glacier edge and from there into the Svartá River, which then flows into the Hvítá River above Húsafell. Satellite image from August 20 showing Hafrafellslón at the edge of the glacier. Since last night, the water level in Hvítá above Húsafell has risen, which is a clear sign that the flash flood has started to reach the river. At present, the water level is still within what has been measured during heavy water increases due to rain, but it must be assumed that the water level will continue to rise in the coming days. The graph shows the water level in the Hvítá River above Húsafell for the past seven days. In recent days, there has been a normal diurnal fluctuation in the water level, but last night that pattern was broken and the water level has been rising rapidly, which is a clear sign of a flood. In recent years, Hafrafellslón has expanded as the glacier edge has retreated. The reservoir now contains more water than before the August 2020 flood, and this flood could therefore be larger. However, there is still significant uncertainty about the development, including how long it will take to reach peak flow. The speed of development largely determines where the peak flow will be and thus whether the spread of this flood will be greater than the August 2020 flood. In 2020, the bridge on Hálsasveitarvegur over the Hvítá River, at Kaldadalsvegur, was flooded. At various points further down the river, the flood had some impact, for example, a meadow at Brúarás was flooded. Residents in the area are therefore advised to consider the possible impact of a flood on property and livestock near the banks of the Hvítá River. Further information about the race in August 2020 can be found in the Icelandic Meteorological Office's report on it: https://www.vedur.is/media/vedurstofan-utgafa-2021/VI_2021_001.pdf Water level measurement
