The magma accumulation periods between the eruptions in January and February 2023 were between 27-25 days, but between 85-90 days for the eruptions in August and November 2024. A large part of the magma that erupted from Svartsengi in January 2024 went into forming a magma tunnel, so the lava flow that formed in the eruption was the smallest.https://flighttowonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/screenshot_20250321-141931_youtube.jpgScreenshot_20250321-141931_YouTube2025-04-01T09:59:33+00:00monthlyhttps://flighttowonder.com/2025/04/26/guest-video-the-siberian-tundra-wolf/https://flighttowonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/20250331_025328.jpg20250331_0253282025-03-31T10:00:38+00:00monthlyhttps://flighttowonder.com/2025/04/19/guest-videos-the-mongolian-wolf/https://flighttowonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/shutterstock_670614835.jpgMongolian,Wolf2025-03-31T08:01:48+00:00monthlyhttps://flighttowonder.com/2025/04/12/guest-video-in-search-of-japans-lost-wolves/https://flighttowonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/20231107_140058.jpg20231107_1400582025-03-31T06:28:11+00:00monthlyhttps://flighttowonder.com/2025/04/18/guest-videos-amur-leopard-cat-and-leopard/https://flighttowonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/imgonline-com-ua-collage-ctspdqdu2x.jpgimgonline-com-ua-collage-CtspdqdU2xhttps://flighttowonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/imgonline-com-ua-collage-4mrfssffprpos.jpgimgonline-com-ua-collage-4MrFssFfpRpOs2025-03-30T10:27:26+00:00monthlyhttps://flighttowonder.com/2025/04/25/guest-video-protecting-the-siberian-tigers-last-home/https://flighttowonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/tiger-1972742_1280.jpgtiger-1972742_12802025-03-30T10:21:10+00:00monthlyhttps://flighttowonder.com/2025/04/04/guest-videos-mainland-leopard-cat-and-clouded-leopard/https://flighttowonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/imgonline-com-ua-collage-iqof5xmieeh.jpgimgonline-com-ua-collage-iQOF5Xmieehhttps://flighttowonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/imgonline-com-ua-collage-rbywnadqiarzmv.jpgimgonline-com-ua-collage-RbyWnAdQIARzmv2025-03-30T07:31:53+00:00monthlyhttps://flighttowonder.com/2025/04/11/guest-video-do-you-feel-the-presence-of-the-iriomote-cat/https://flighttowonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/shutterstock_2248019001.jpgIriomote,Mountain,Cat,Sculpture.,Jan,5,,2023.,Location:,Iriomotejima,,Okinawa,https://flighttowonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/20230925_164758.jpg20230925_1647582025-03-30T05:57:34+00:00monthlyhttps://flighttowonder.com/2025/03/04/icelands-recent-fires-waiting-3/https://flighttowonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/screenshot_20250308-182744_brave-nightly.jpgScreenshot_20250308-182744_Brave -

Channels eroded into the old east-west ridge now control the flow of Arctic cold water in the Atlantic Ocean's crucial <a href="___" target="_blank">thermohaline circulation</a>. (Martinez et al.) And we'll soon be talking about that <a href="___" target="_blank">spreading ridge</a> you see here coming up into Iceland from the south -- as Ward points out, it starts out a mile below the ocean surface as the Reykjanes Ridge and rises above sea level at around 64° N latitude to become Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula. The world's other well-established mid-ocean spreading ridges do not beach themselves this way.

It shows some of that ash blowing in the wind. Fortunately for Manila (the urban area just north of Taal in this view), the caldera did not erupt in 2020, except a relatively little through Volcano Island. But remember, Taal Volcano underlies Taal Lake plus a little of the shore. This image sums up why they made it a Decade Volcano in the 1990s; it's still extremely dangerous today.
