WOW! Iceland volcano Eyjafjallajokull is erupting massively again!

crap indeed, hopefully katla isn't next.

If youve been watching, youve noticed that there has been increased earthquake activity there on Eyja over the past cpl of days, just like before the initial strong eruption.

Also the volcano had stopped a period of deflation and began a period of inflation - signs pointing to possibly an increase in eruptive activity.

That is definately happening now!

Yeppers. Sure is. Looks pretty high up too.

Katla was steaming yesterday, steam was coming out of the glacier which it lies under, little pockets of steam was kinda fun to watch it squirt out of the side of the glacier ice.

no mods online as it seems. keep this thread vital.

Tremendous rate of ash fall here right now.

Yeah we were talking about that in another thread. The steam was about 10 km closer to the camera from where Katla is located though and the source of it is unknown. However, the steam remained all day yesterday during sunlight, about 17 hours.

Here is that thread if anyone wants to review it:
Thread: KATLA ALERT! Steaming - Venting ???

The steam off the side of Katla's glacier myrdalsjokull is interesting, but still no signs whatsoever of an imminent eruption of Katla.

But DAMN! Eyja is erupting like crazy right now.

for some reason these curren images remind me of this tripped out anime called foolu cooly that had a huge iron in the background that woul let out massive amounts of steam

and exploding

Eyjaff cameras offline now.

Just curious as to how strong an earthquake from an erupting volcano should be? in what range would be normal?

It doesnt necessarily need to be high on the Richter scale correct?

I have a feeling the clouds are gonna move in. Heres a good capture I just took a few min ago:

Meltwater discharge has decreased dramatically from Eyja since yesterday.

Sun is up now in Iceland.

They only have about 6 1/2 hours of offical nighttime now and only about 5 1/2 hours of real darkness.

good answer.

At least I was able to get one good pic saved and posted first. Hopefully the clouds move out soon. The weather has not been good for viewing Eyja from the ground cameras lately.

That camera is located about 18-19 km to the west-northwest of the eruption.
This link shows the 3 Eyja camera locations:

The Valahnuk cam is down now. It might show some action if it was operational.

good doom for the morning crew!
