	Krafla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lava flow during a rift eruption at Krafla volcano, northern Iceland, in 1984.
		Krafla is a volcanic system with a diameter of about 20 km in the north of Iceland in the Mývatn region.
		A big lava flow destroyed parts of the village Reykjahlíð, but most of the inhabitants survived having been in the church which lies on an elevation of terrain.

		A lava flow from the 1975-1984 fissure eruption at Krafla.
		Krafla is a caldera which is ~6 miles (10 km) across.
		The fissure swarm connected to Krafla is 62 miles (100 km) long and ~3-6 miles (5-10 km) wide.

	Krafla
		Krafla consists of a low, broad central volcano about 25 km diameter with a caldera in the center.
		The Krafla fissure swarm is 80 km long and 4 to 10 km wide.
		The "Krafla fires" like the 1724-1729 eruptions were a rifting episode related to spreading at the plate boundary with maximum widening of the fissure swarm by 9 m at the northern margin of the caldera and subsidence of the center by 2 to 6 m.

	Krafla
		Volcanism near Krafla has been concentrated along the central and eastern part of the fissure swarm during this period whereas during the earlier period it was dispersed over the western part as well.
		The maximum measured throw (accumulated vertical displacement) on a normal fault in the Holocene fissure swarm is 32 m and occurs on a normal fault at the western margin of the Krafla fissure swarm.

		- Eruptions in the Krafla area usually involve the opening of a fissure and the subsequent flows of lava extending in all directions.
		- Krafla actually provides a service to Iceland in that it is a large source of geothermal power.
		The magma underneath the Krafla area is extremely shallow (a temperature of 644 degrees F has been measured as little as 1.25 miles below the surface) and provides an excellent opportunity to utilize this natural heating system.

	European Mars Analog Research Station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As with the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station and the Mars Desert Research Station, which were chosen for their physical similarity to Mars, Euro-MARS will be set up on Krafla, a volcanic rift in north-east Iceland, which bears strong resemblance to volancially-produced featured on the surface of Mars.
		A relative dry region, Krafla also demonstrates land features that have been produced by water action which are visually similar to those found in certain regions of Mars.
		This is because the Krafla region has extensive rifts and fumaroles which are home to anerobic (non-oxygen breathing) microbes; any life evidenced on Mars will also be anerobic in nature, so developing field study techniques in Krafla will help define protocols and procedure that will be employed on Mars.

		The July 1978 deflation of Krafla volcano in the volcanic rift zone of NE-Iceland was in most respects typical of the many deflation events that have occurred at Krafla since December 1975.
		Separated by periods of slow inflation, the deflation events are characterized both by rapid subsidence and volcanic tremor in the caldera region, as well as extensive rifting in the fault swarm that transects the volcano.
		The flation events are interpreted as the result of subsurface magmatic movements, when magma from the Krafla reservoir is injected laternally into the fault swarm to form a dyke.

		The September 1977 deflation of the Krafla volcano was one of a series of such events that has been in progress since December 1975.
		The seismological data strongly support the interpretation that feflation of the Krafla volcano is associated with lateral migration of magma from the caldera region and formation of dykes in the Krafla fault swarm.

		The Krafla central volcano, located NE of Myvatn lake, is a topographically indistinct 10-km-wide caldera that is cut by a N-S-trending fissure system.
		Krafla has been the source of many rifting and eruptive events during the Holocene, including two in historical time, during 1724-29 and 1975-84.
		The prominent Hverfjall and Ludent tuff rings east of Myvatn were erupted along the 100-km-long fissure system, which extends as far as the north coast of Iceland.

		Cheered by the sight of our horses making tracks for home, in spite of their hobbles; we now continued along the south-west margin of a crater-lake, which probably was more than two miles in circumference, its length equalling about twice its breadth, being surrounded by steep slopes of clay, disintegrated rock and fragmentary debris.
		Following along a neck of land between the two, we commenced the ascent of Krafla proper, which is a sub-conical mass of agglomerate, pierced to the summit and in many other places with intruded lava.
		This we found was a difficult route for the horses, and it did not improve as we reached the lava which had flowed from the Fremri-Námur at the the time of its latest eruption.

		The morning of the 16th was occupied with lectures about environmental concerns, tourism, and nature in Iceland, and goings-on in the Mývatn area were often used as examples to illustrate the lecturers' points.
		Craters and lava flows, many of them created between 1975 and 1984, surround a pastel-coloured rhyolite hill, and a number of active mudholes and steam vents can be seen in the area.
		Perhaps the most impressive area at Krafla is in the area to the west of the rhyolite hill, where trails pass near and even through craters from various eruptions.

	Geology of Iceland
		The island nation is one of the few places on earth where you can see an active spreading ridge above sea level with the two plates moving apart about 1 to 2 cm per year.
		As a result, there is volcanism from well-known volcanoes like Hekla, Krafla, and Surtsey and from enormous fissure eruptions like Eldgjá (Fire Chasm, ~934AD) and Laki (Skaftar Fires, 1783-1784) as well as earthquake activity.
		New crust is broken down into smaller particles and into new minerals by processes of physical (i.e., wave action, glaciers, wind, rain, plants, thermal contraction) and chemical weathering (i.e., alteration of volcanic glass).

		The flow originated from an 8.5-km-long fissure that was initially active along its entire length.
		The fissure was produced by rifting along the mostly submarine Mid-Atlantic Ridge where it rises above sea level and cuts across the island of Iceland, forming an accessible natural laboratory for studies of episodic eruptions at this oceanic spreading ridge.
		The eruption shown here was the last of several episodes of rifting and lava effusion that took place at Krafla during 1975-1984.

		The consequences of plate movement are easy to see around Krafla Volcano, in the northeastern part of Iceland.
		Some of these rifting events were accompanied by volcanic activity; the ground would gradually rise 1-2 m before abruptly dropping, signalling an impending eruption.
