Lava tornado is a term I never expected to see, but man that really was it. I can only imagine the size of those lava stones getting thrown around like that.
This is not a tornado as it is not associated with any storm. It is a fire whirl or lava whirl as all the energy comes from the heat of the lava. Yes, I am a meteorologist.
@@reddog-ex4dx its just a difference in nomenclature due to the origin of the effect its still just as wild of a meteorological feature nothing has been spoiled, the lava is so hot that it is creating enough of a spin to start spinning winds in the colder air potentially at tornado level forces, we all saw the same thing.
Lavanado, very cool. I witnessed a firenado when I was a kid with some friends. The firenado went across 3 hills lights everything in its path. No one believed us.

Sounds like you're at the ocean this is one kind of ocean I don't want to meet my toes
That is crazy! It moved back and forth, no particular direction.
That is amazing, this must be the only video in the world that has captured such occurrance.
There were many videos of the same thing at the Geldingadalir Volcano in March-April 2021.
Another reason why people should not go near the lava

@@marksubblefield6092 - It's basically more like a dust devil, or fire whirl, eh?
Ohhhhh, you guy's spoil everything!

Our World's little Iceland wants to grow SOoooo badly, that even the WIND is helping it spread out bigger!!!
New Sci-fi Channel movie title: 'Lavanado' from the director of all six 'Sharknado' movies 😂

Crazy that it ended pretty close to where it started! 😮 It looked fairly strong, given the size of the lava bombs it was throwing.
I am not surprised being all that heat in a cold climate. Awesome video.
Those lava domes have been built up really quickly! Maybe helped by a very cold wind?
Wow! I live far away in the western US and this video even scares me
If you look closely you can see it.
And here I thought fire tornadoes were as bad as it can get, turns out I’m wrong
That is the most metal thing I have ever seen
The sound is scary 😬
Very interesting. Did not know that it existiert. Thanks for the explanation where it comes from
It is a surreal hellscape.
We're not in Kansas anymore...
Amazing nature
A whole lot going on there.
