Pseudocrater

In Skutustadir vind je "pseudokraters", niet verbonden met een magmakanaal, maar gevormd toen er lava over nat terrein vloeide. De stoom die zo werd opgewekt deed de lava naar boven exploderen.
A Skutusdatir se trouvent les "pseudocratères". Ils ne sont pas connectés avec un canal de magma. Ils sont formés, lors d'une éruption de lava qui couvrait une terre humide. Le vapeur a fait exploder le lava.
In Skutusdatir we find the "pseudo craters". Not connected to a magma chamber, but accrued when hot lava flowed over wetland. The gaseous water , liying underneath the lava escaped when it pushed the lava explosively upwards.
