Vylúni
Vylúni is a term that originates from the Icelandic language, where it is used to describe a specific type of lava flow that occurs during volcanic eruptions. The term translates to "to flow out" or "to pour out," reflecting the process by which the lava emerges from the volcano. Vylúni are characterized by their distinctive, ropy texture, which is formed as the lava cools and solidifies while still flowing. This texture is a result of the lava's high viscosity and the rapid cooling process, which causes the surface to break into a series of interconnected lobes and tubes.
Vylúni are commonly found in Iceland, particularly in the areas surrounding the country's numerous volcanoes. They
The study of vylúni is important for understanding the geological processes that shape the Earth's surface.
