Iceland │ Hekla Volcano the North site │ Highlands│ Part 51

* * Hekla is often called the Queen of Icelandic volcanoes.* * * Hekla is a stratovolcano in the south of Iceland with a height of 1,491 m (4,892 ft). Hekla is one of Iceland's most active volcanoes; over 20 eruptions have occurred in and around the volcano since 874. During the Middle Ages, Europeans called the volcano the "Gateway to Hell". Hekla is part of a volcanic ridge, 40 km (25 mi) long. The most active part of this ridge, a fissure about 5.5 km (3.4 mi) long named Heklugjá, is considered to be within Hekla proper. Hekla looks rather like an overturned boat, with its keel being a series of craters, two of which are generally the most active. The volcano's frequent large eruptions have covered much of Iceland with tephra, and these layers can be used to date eruptions of Iceland's other volcanoes. Approximately 10% of the tephra created in Iceland in the last thousand years has come from Hekla, amounting to 5 km3. Cumulatively, the volcano has produced one of the largest volumes of lava of any in the world in the last millennium, around 8 km3. 0 – Hekla er 1.491m hár eldhryggur og er eitt virkasta og þekktasta eldfjall á Íslandi og gjarnan kölluð Drottning íslenskra eldfjalla. Hekla er í Rangárvallasýslu og sést víða að og er auðþekkjanlegt – eins og bátur á hvolfi með breiðar axlir og háan toppgíg. Síðast gaus Hekla í febrúar 2000. Þá var spáð fyrir um eldgosið 15 mínútum áður en það hófst. Hekla er fremur ungt eldfjall og er meginhluti hennar, þ.e. allt háfjallið, talinn vera yngri en 7.000 ára. Fjallið stendur á fremur þykkri jarðskorpu þar sem Suðurlandsbrotabeltið og Suðurlandsgosbeltið mætast. Þarna er því mikil virkni í jarðskorpunni, spenna er hlaðinn í brotbeltinu en undir gosbeltinu liggja kvikuhólf og -þrær. Allstór sprungurein er undir fjallinu sem bendir til þess að gosið hafi á gossprungum áður en fjallið hlóðst upp og kvikuhólf þess myndaðist. Þessi sprunga sést vel á yfirborðinu og hefur oft gosið úr henni, en þó líka úr öxl fjallsins, s.s. utan sprungunnar. Þessari Heklugjá tengjast fleiri gígar sem hafa gosið í áranna rás, sumir einu sinni, aðrir oftar. Fjallið sker sig frá öðrum íslenskum eldfjöllum að því leyti að kvikuhólf hennar er mun dýpra en í öðrum fjöllum landsins, eða á um 11 km dýpi í jarðskorpunni. #HeklaVolcano #Hekla #Lavafield #Volcano #IcelandVolcanos #VolcanosinIceland #Nature LINK:    • Iceland │ Hekla Volcano the North site │ H...   “As an Icelandic Landscape and Nature Documentary Photographer, I feel responsible to leave all I can behind to show our future generation how it looked like in Iceland, with my photography and Videography before it's too late.” If you are interested in supporting my work and get your name on the “Credit List” of the Videos and E-books.

Background: Rafn is an Experienced Icelandic Landscape and Nature Documentary Photographer living just a few kilometers outside the Capital of Reykjavík. Where nature surrounds him and he only needs to walk a few minutes to some of the most beautiful places Iceland has to offer. His goal is to document the raw nature for the coming generation to show them what we have or what we have lost. His fascination with Icelandic nature and geologic diversity is endless. Although he has been photographing Iceland for more than thirty years now, he finds the magic is still around the corner and he understands it will take more than a lifetime to finish the job. He has published 8 books called “Wild Iceland – the untouched nature”. Each book focuses on the collection of the best of the sensational nature of the individual parts of Iceland; these eight books contain photographs of the south, southwest, west, and Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, north, east, west fjord, and the highlands. His photos have been displayed on front pages of various magazines, postcards . . . and been awarded on several occasions for his photography and documentation. One thing he doesn´t like, is photo competitions and he never enters them, but that’s just him.
