just starting meltwaterfall as first sign of a lava breakthrough 26.3. 10:00h
a few minutes later huge ice blocks and first lava chunks falling freely into the steep gorge

lavafall filling the gorges base almost instantly
first view through steam to the minute old lava deposit
clearer views after roughly one hour
