Volcanic eruptions are spectacular as well as terrifying, and in the era before color photos and video footage, they were, in some ways, difficult to describe. For the uninitiated, the language of fire provides a familiar lexicon to capture volcanic phenomena, and it is branded into our subject.

You couldn't touch the floor. Everywhere you put your foot down, there was lava. It would burn you up! It was total danger! Everybody knew it, which is why you climbed from sofa to chair to cushion in an effort to not touch the floor. Mom was never totally happy when you pretended that lava filled the living room but she deep-down understood, as in "Adventures in Volcanoland" by Tamsin Mather, that molten rock is nothing to trifle with.

Mather combines a personal story with an era-spanning scope, turning esoteric information into a colorful, engaging account. A surprising sojourn into an unknown field and a paean to the mysterious sentinels of the planet’s history. Most people, when they hear a volcano start to rumble, run away as fast as possible. Not Mather, whose instinct is to run toward it with a pack of scientific equipment and an obsessively inquisitive mind.

As southern Iceland remains on alert for an eruption, University of Oxford professors David Pyle and Tamsin Mather explain what is happening beneath the surface of this volcanic region. The Reykjanes peninsula in south-west Iceland trembled with an intense swarm of earthquakes on the afternoon of Friday, 10 November. Hundreds of quakes were detected on the regional networks of seismometers and several were strong enough to be felt in Reykjavik, 50km away.

Une série intense de séismes a secoué la péninsule de Reykjanes dans le sud-ouest de l’Islande, vendredi 10 novembre. Des centaines de tremblements de terre ont été détectés par les réseaux régionaux de sismomètres et plusieurs ont été suffisamment forts pour être ressentis à Reykjavik, à 50 kilomètres de là. Une alerte de protection civile a été déclenchée avertissant du risque d’une éruption volcanisme – ce serait la quatrième depuis 2021. Pourquoi ce phénomène se reproduit-il ?

La península de Reykjanes, en el suroeste de Islandia, tembló con un intenso enjambre de terremotos en la tarde del viernes 10 de noviembre. Las redes regionales de sismómetros detectaron cientos de temblores y varios fueron lo suficientemente fuertes como para sentirse en Reikiavik, a 50 kilómetros de distancia. Se emitió entonces una alerta de protección civil advirtiendo del riesgo de una erupción, que sería la cuarta desde 2021. ¿Por qué se repite y qué puede ocurrir a continuación?
