Iceland is formed by lava from the spreading Mid-Atlantic Ridge. I was on a field trip when the August 2022 lava eruption occurred.

Here is the plume from 100 miles north.

We were on our way to see the giant extinct volcano Snaefell, site of Jules Verne “Journey to the Center of the Earth”.

Unfortunately we did not get to go down into Snarfell to find the tunnel in the 1959 movie version with James Mason, Pat Boone, and Arlene Dahl. Oh well.

The maps show the current volcanic eruption, with the regional maps of the Mid Atlantic Ridge. The black outline is the current 2024 eruption.
