#ClimateCrisis #volcanoes #Iceland "Keeping an Eye on Iceland: Volcanoes and Climate Change In fact, the Arctic is warming nearly four times as fast as the rest of the world.5) This phenomenon is known as Arctic Amplification, which can be calculated across different regions of the Arctic from weather stations around the globe. In particular, the Arctic Amplification for Iceland shows that warming is twice as fast as the rest of the world, compared to other Arctic regions like northern Siberia that are warming as much as seven times as fast. While the warming climate in Iceland may not be as fast as Siberia, it is still too high to keep polar ice sheets frozen.) When ice sheets melt rapidly, hazards can result in loss of infrastructure, livestock, and life. Specifically in Iceland, this includes at least two hazards influenced by climate change: jökulhlaups (glacial outburst floods) and even volcanic eruptions. Volcanic eruptions and climate change may sound like an odd connection at first, but it is very relevant in Iceland. Of the 41 active volcanic systems in Iceland, 12 of them are under Icelandic glaciers.) In addition, the most active volcano in Iceland, Grímsvötn, and Iceland’s largest volcanic system, Bárðarbunga, are both under ice. As the glaciers continue to melt due to increasing warming, volcanic pressure that has built up underneath is no longer constrained by the weight of the glacier, creating new pathways for magma migration. Thus, it is important to study how these unique volcanic systems have evolved through time." https://www.thearcticinstitute.org/keeping-eye-iceland-volcanoes-climate-change/

Most #volcanoes warm the #atmosphere with SO2 But the 2022 Hunga #Tonga eruption was unique Deep enough for sea water to penetrate, but shallow enough for the explosion to push water into the *mesosphere* 🤯 The water penetration removed most of the SO2, and the water is also still up there in the #stratosphere, *cooling* us Meaning: #GlobalWarming should be even worse than it already is, and could rebound to such as the high water veil dissipates https://indiandefencereview.com/hunga-volcano-space-plume-stratosphere-froze/ #ClimateCrisis

33-year-old dies after entering restricted area near Kīlauea caldera, Hawaii A 33-year-old resident of Hawaiʻi was found dead after entering a closed area on the east side of the Kīlauea caldera in Hawaiʻi #volcanoes National Park on February 26, 2026. Authorities said the #volcano was not erupting at the time of the incident, and the exact cause of death remains under investigation. https://watchers.news/2026/03/05/33-year-old-dies-after-entering-restricted-area-near-kilauea-caldera-hawaii/
