Field tripper hiking up a valley to along the escarpment that the 2010 lava flows of Eyafjallajökul flowed over

Ignimbrite deposit of an eruption from to the north that was deposited around 50 ka years ago (i think!)

Incredible hyaloclastite deposits produced by an eruption under an ice sheet.

Amazing experience to do a glacier walk on Solheimajokull.

Have been laying low, but wanting do something light hearted, I will start sharing my summer for #fieldworkFriday. In May I joined the @iavcei.bsky.social @volc-ice.bsky.social field trip in Iceland. Stunning sunny days the entire time, so I can’t go back 🤣. Ready for future field work in NW BC! ⚒️🧪
