Iceland Volcano Update; A Road is Melting at the Hengill Volcano

On May 11th of 2023, a section of road within Iceland began to rapidly heat up, deform, and then melt. This occurred on a section of Route 1 adjacent to the active Hengill volcano. This video discusses why this process began to occur, the melting of asphalt, and what might have potentially caused a new hot spring to form underneath the road. A special thanks and also please subscribe to: @JustIcelandic, who graciously allowed me to use his drone footage published in one of his YouTube videos in addition to 4 of his drone thermal images. He regularly livestreams Kilauea’s and now Mauna Loa’s volcanic eruptions.
