On our way home from Iceland, our @umaine.bsky.social ‘Sea to Sky’ team was treated to spectacular views of the southern tip of Greenland earlier today! I’ll never grow tired of looking out the window…

Students also collected rock samples for studying the petrology of this young #volcano. Altogether a wonderful #Sea2Sky experience.

Eldfell lava that claimed several houses and almost blocked the harbor.
#UMaine ERS 410 ‘Sea to Sky Experience’ Update: a few days ago we utilized the clear weather of the Icelandic heat dome to visit the Vestmannæyjar/Westman Islands (Heimæy), where we climbed to the top of Eldfell, which erupted 23 January 1973 and nearly blocked the harbor with lava.

Kristin gave a presentation to our Sea to Sky group at Papa’s restaurant about how volcanic activity has affected her town of Grindavík. In this image she is describing a map showing the extent of lava flows that were emplaced during the 2023-2024 Sundhnúkur eruptions.
Cracks in parking lot associated with a fissure that opened up in downtown Grindavík.
View of lava flow that impinged upon the outer part of Grindavík in early 2024.
Closer view of the edge of the early 2024 lava flow. Here the lava flow overran houses and inundated a road at the edge of Grindavík. Housing material can be found incorporated into the lava (not visible from this vantage).
#UMaine ERS 410 Sea-to-Sky Update: Our team visited Grindavík, southern Reykjanes Peninsula, where Kristín María Birgisdóttir showed us how her town has been inundated by earthquakes, graben formation, and #lava flows from the eight eruptions of Sundhnúkur since 2023.
