A video discussing the negative impacts of volcanic eruptions

Although they last a very long time, volcanoes have a life cycle. This video explains how and why. Twitter: @InspireEd_UK Website: https://www.inspire.education/ #Volcanoes #Geography #KS2

This is the moment that a volcano erupts underneath the sea… Although relatively little is known about them, it’s believed there are over 1 million submarine volcanoes, largely located along the mid-atlantic ridge. These volcanoes are responsible for producing 75% of the earth’s magma. Underwater volcanoes are understood to work like their counterparts on dry land. They form towering mountains submerged well below sea level - some reported to rise as much as 10,000 feet above the seabed. Whilst it’s relatively rare to see, these eruptions can also create new islands above the water. On November 14th, 1963, a trawler sailing just south of Iceland noticed a plume of smoke billowing from the sea. Thinking it was a fire on board another ship, they travelled towards what was, in fact an underwater volcano erupting and witnessed the birth of a new island. It was named Surtsey after fire giants of Norse mythology. Today, the island of Surtsey is a UNESCO world heritage site, and the only people allowed to set foot on it are the scientists studying the ecosystem and geology of this unspoiled isle. It’s thought that Iceland itself was created in this way by underwater volcanoes, millions of years ago. So whilst it may be rare to see one erupt, these submarine volcanoes have a big part to play in shaping the world above water.

After weeks of thousands of earthquakes on the peninsula of Reykjanes in Iceland on March 19th 2021 the ground opened up and the lava reached the surface. The volcano of GELDINGADALIR at the FAGRADALSFJALLI was born. Right after I heard from the eruption I flew to Iceland waited for the end of my quarantine and then I spent several days and nights at the volcano. It was such an incredible adventure. Every day the volcano looked completely different. Spelling mistake: Sorry for the embarrassing misspelling on the 3rd title (it's way to the surface) - Youtube don't let me exchange the video, so please just overlook it ;-) Volcano name - Also I need to say that the volcano I filmed has no name yet. It's located in the valley of Geldingadalir close to the mountain Fagradalsfjall - it's a bit tricky to name the movie without an official volcano name. :-) For this footage I brought 3 Mavic 2 Pro drones with me. One was „sacrificed“ for the very close up shots. As those flights through the lava spray were pure luck and the drones records the footage internally I recorded the screen of my remote control that in case of loosing it I would at least have the final shots saved on my mobile phone. But this lucky bee survived to the very end. The drone is completely melted from the outside and there are so many malfunctions and errors that it’s funny to fly - BUT it still flies and captures photos and videos. ATTENTION: You are NOT allowed to use any of this footage without purchasing a license - this also applies for non-commercial use. Any use without a license for commercial or non-commercial/private use will be prosecuted by the lawyers team of photoclaim. Of course it is allowed to embed or share the original youtube-link to my movie on my channel but it is not allowed to use any Youtube-Download tools and upload or edit my footage in any form. My footage has been featured in well-known TV-Productions (BBC, TerraX,...) and in multiple projects of globally active organizations (Google LTD, Hisense, BMW, WWF,...). Sorry for the watermark, but I have some serious issues with people stealing my footage and selling it illegally on Shutterstock. We are currently conducting a major lawsuit against Shutterstock. The injunction was submitted in summer 2020. Thank you for your understanding.

Anyone who’s ever experienced an earthquake or seen a volcano knows that the phrase “solid ground” doesn’t always apply. Over Earth's long history, the great landmasses have continually rearranged themselves, separating from one ancient land mass known as Pangea. Find out how the world came to look the way it does.
