Iceland - My homeland │ 176

* * * Why is Iceland an island * * Iceland formed by the coincidence of the spreading boundary of the North American and Eurasian plates and a hotspot or mantle plume – an upsurge of abnormally hot rock in the Earth´s mantle. As the plates moved apart, excessive eruptions of lava constructed volcanoes and filled rift valleys. The island first appearing over the ocean surface about 16 to 18 million years ago. The result is an island characterized by repeated volcanism and geothermal phenomena such as geysers Although Iceland sees regular eruptions because it sits above a volcanic hot spot, the Reykjanes Peninsula has been dormant for 800 years. Its last volcanic era continued over centuries, however, prompting scientists to predict the renewed volcanism to be the start of a long episode. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *** TIMEFRAME *** 00:00 Fossabrekkur. 00:28 Geithúsgil. 00:48 Gjárfoss. 01:09 Lambholt forest. 01:27 Búrfell Mountain. 01:51 Flying from Móhálsadalur to Grænavatnseggjar (Sog). 03:21 Ölkelduháls. 03:43 Sog. 04:12 Gjárfoss. 4:24 Eldborgarfarvegur. 04:50 Valgerðarslétta. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - if you are a fellow video creator, let me support you too. – Please watch the video in 2K because the compression is so high in HD that it degrades the image quality - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thank you for watching.
