A video shared online shows a tornado whirring above Iceland’s newest volcano as it spews lava below. The spectacle is a result of the boiling lava warming the air above it, causing it to rise. Paired with wind conditions, the hot air spun into a tornado.
Drone footage captured the moment a tornado was created over Iceland’s youngest volcano.
Litli-Hrútur, or "Little Ram," formed from a fissure just three weeks ago on the Reykjanes Peninsula in the southwestern region of the island., shows a tornado whirring above Iceland’s newest volcano as it spews lava below. The spectacle is a result of the boiling lava warming the air above it, causing it to rise. Paired with specific wind conditions, the column of hot air can rise and spin into a tornado.
“This is a type of tornado that is sometimes seen where there is a strong heat source on the ground and the atmosphere is unstable in the lowest kilometer [0.6 miles] or so near the surface,” Smart said. “This seems to be a particularly well-formed and long-lived example, which might imply that atmospheric conditions were particularly conducive on this day.”
