The wind was carrying a rain dross and clouds of acid vapors. Many of the terrified residents flee, fell ill and weak. 18 th there was a new eruption, and the new lava flow over the canyon Skapty. Subsequently, the water of the river dug itself another channel, but now from contact with the lava, they were terribly hot. This boiling water mixed with volcanic ash, made a terrible havoc. In late June, there was a new lava flow and the flow is divided into three arms. In mid-July has come peace of mind. As soon as residents began recovering from the horrors of the migrated, when in late July, there was again a terrible earthquake. Now, a huge fire pillars have appeared in the east. In early August, a new lava flow broke into the eastern part of the valley Verfisa, but despite the arriving masses, he reached the plains. In late October, again appeared in the east of the pillars of fire and stayed there for five days, the lava was coming, but the new havoc in the valley is no longer produced. After this eruption in the vicinity of the second lava flow appeared hot swamp wide by 2 hour journey, they existed there for a long time. Direct harm produced by the eruption, was large even in this sparsely populated area. But the most terrible were the losses occurred due to loss of vegetation, and found only in the coming years. There was nothing to feed the cattle, and all the people perished from starvation. On top of misfortune in 1784 in the District of Arnesen's 100 yards was destroyed by an earthquake. Within one year from the 47,000 inhabitants of the island died 9000. Torodtssen proved that the craters Skaptar formed in 1783 at the site of the ancient cracks throws lava, probably already in the first century after the settlement of the country. But almost the most remarkable in any case unique is a volcanic fissure, open Torodtssenom have Langishora between Mirdals iokulom-and cotton-iokulom. It stretches for 4 miles on a perfectly straight line and goes through mountains and valleys. Mountains in excess of ? 1000., Broke it, just toys, and she introduced them to a depth of 400 - 600 p. Directly from this crack without craters resulted powerful streams of lava in the form of huge lavopadov: one of them reaches 6 - 7 geographer, miles and can be traced back to the sea. Numerous characteristics and volcanic fissures are described elsewhere in the Northeast of Iceland between the rivers and Iokulso Skalfandaflot. According to this Torodtssena devoid of any population desert is dissected by deep and long, parallel cracks in a number of bands. Some of them fell, others have retained their original position or less settled nearby. Most of the cracks is accompanied by ordinary volcanoes, but some cracks, as well as entire sections that have settled in the discharge of, deprived of them. One of the great depressions of the latter kind Torodtssen found in the northeastern part of Odada-Rauna the length of its approximately 15 km, width of 1 km and a height on either side of 30 - 50 m. At the same time that depression runs a number of volcanoes - Randuborgir, Svejnar and crater 1875 In the southern part of the series was placed before (to 1875) long settled in the reset portion Sveynagya; steep walls of his reach on both sides 10 - 20 m in height. February 18, 1875 eruption began along the western wall of the cavity and with some interruptions, lasted until the end of August. Along the cracks formed three groups of craters, and they leveled the sunken area with parts lying around and threw the flow, whose mass is thought to Helland, reaches at least 276 million cubic meters. Noise produced by this eruption could be heard at a distance and looked like a heavy blows of the waves on the rocky shore. According to Halgrimura Ionassona March 12, the length of the lava flow was at least one Danish mile. The eruption was raging along the eastern side of the shaft of the slag, which reached 400 m in length and 13 m in height, sixteen pillars of fire burst from fissures, lava boulders without the account going up and dropped a stone in the rain. The soil was covered with many short parallel cracks, where the moving stream, they are filled with lava. The eastern side of one of the cracks within 12 hours fell by more than 2 feet. In April and August eruption occurred in the southern part.
