Starts at around 22:55 for fifteen or so minutes. Pretty terrifying, but they seem to have it all under control.
It’s difficult to get any sense of scale, but there’s some good panning shots where you see how close the power station is.
- senectus1 3y ago> but they seem to have it all under control. they have the people under control... there is no way they have any semblance of controls over the fissure or the magma/lava.
- gpm 3y agoThey have a very slight semblance of control over the lava, in the sense that they have built some berms in an attempt to protect important infrastructure (power plant and town) should the lava flow towards it. But ya, mostly they have the people evacuated and taken care of.
- senectus1 3y agoI suspect it's too early to suggest the berms are protecting anything. They're just delaying. having said that, the Icelandic Dyke seems to have very "runny" magma. this might help with deflection.
- senectus1 3y agolooks like it's blown is major load and its over pressure has scaled back. This looks much more promising in terms of being able to manage the occurrence
