You may have seen how volcano eruptions are depicted in cartoons, with red-hot lava shooting straight up in the sky before cascading down the slopes of the mountain. It’s called volcanic fountaining, and it does occur in real life, as the 2021 eruption of Fagradalsfjall in Iceland displayed. A team of Earth scientists, meteorologists, geologists and volcanologists might have found the answer to why this happens. Phys.org explains: https://flip.it/3yZCSA

1. A new theory to explain the nature of volcanic fountaining

In their project, reported in the journal Nature Communications, the group studied the 2021 eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland, which produced what some have described as spectacular examples of volcanic fountaining.
