The country's fiery liquid landscape shifts, on a massive scale. By Michael Dumiak Kristín Jóhannsdóttir woke at two in the morning, looked from her window over fields to the east, and saw curtains of ...

Many volcanoes produce similar types of eruption over millions of years. For example, volcanoes in Iceland, Hawai’i and the Galápagos Islands consistently erupt lava flows – comprised of molten ...

The most common type of lava flow is basaltic, making up around 90 percent of all lava flows on the planet. In these flows, the lava erupts at temperatures of around 1,100 to 1,250°C (2,012 to ...

That, and it's not a great idea to attempt to plug them up with concrete. The most common type of lava flow is basaltic, making up around 90 percent of all lava flows on the planet. In these flows ...

That eruption created Iceland's biggest basalt lava flow in more than 230 years but caused no injuries or damage. Iceland has seen seven volcanic eruptions in a year near the southwestern fishing ...

In more recent history, around 400,000 years ago, runny basaltic lava from Newberry Volcano to the south flowed over much of the tuff, leaving only the tall spires exposed above the flow.
