Eyjaffjalljokull ERUPTIONS have re-started

I cant get the cameras to load.

ive got cam 2 but thats it :-(

Try this one:

There is only one solution to this! ICELAND IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE!

I hope you're wrong! or I have to canoe it to Europe :)))

Not really. When you start seeing EQ swarms like this on Myrdalsjokull, then you know that its more likely Katla is going to erupt. Myrdalsjokull has been extremely quiet lately.

The most active EQ swarms besides those on Eyja have been centered around the Bardarbunga volcano, and second would be Askja. Either of these also has the *potential* of a very large eruption of VEI 6 possibly, but a more probable scenario would be VEI 5 or less.

If you cant get the other cameras to load, you can just about always get a live current still image here if youre gettin antsy for a visual update.

Hit refresh whenever you want the most current immage.

here is a closer in map of Myrdalskokull and Eyja with recent EQ's -

Could another Icelandic volcano erupt soon?
But Professor Gudmundsson says there are "no signs yet" of an impending eruption. "Our eyes are not glued to Katla, we are thinking about the eruption that is happening now."
But Dr Goodenough adds that "substantial amounts of magma" are rising underneath both volcanoes.
"And it seems that when Eyjafjallajokull goes off, Katla tends to follow."

On the A FLIR A320 infrared camera is that the magma that is hot and coming up.

In the floor of the valley? Those spots are the same color as the flares in the ash cloud?

A recent program on volcanos on either discovery channel or national geographic talked about how/when katla would erupt. Said it sometimes was thought that just the violent shaking and erupting of Eyja...volcano would sorta jolt Katla into action. Or so that was their assumption when there was no other clear reason for it. Well Eyja sure is shaking harder and spewing more in the past couple days. Guess we will just wait and see.

Cool footage. I wish we had a camera situated like that at Eyjaffjalljokull because I'm pretty sure the explosions are much more intense than these.

MULTIPLE QUAKES NOW WITHIN THE HOUR BETWEEN E 15 and KATLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I have not seen anything like this previously!

yah. i feel like i am watching barbarian spectators watching "volcano blood sport" when i see most the posts on the volcano threads. pretty sociopathic.

You are right so that must be hot,is it substantial amounts of magma are rising underneath both volcanoes.

Tremor is possibly returning to higher levels:

Volcanic eruptions enhance the haze effect to a greater extent than the greenhouse effect, and thus they can lower mean global temperatures. It was thought for many years that the greatest volcanic contribution of the haze effect was from the suspended ash particles in the upper atmosphere that would block out solar radiation. However, these ideas changed in the 1982 after the eruption of the Mexican volcano, El Chichon. Although the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens lowered global temperatures by 0.1OC, the much smaller eruption of El Chichon lowered global temperatures three to five times as much. Although the Mt. St. Helens blast emitted a greater amount of ash in the stratosphere, the El Chichon eruption emitted a much greater volume of sulfur-rich gases (40x more). It appears that the volume of pyroclastic debris emitted during a blast is not the best criteria to measure its effects on the atmosphere. The amount of sulfur-rich gases appears to be more important. Sulfur combines with water vapor in the stratosphere to form dense clouds of tiny sulfuric acid droplets. These droplets take several years to settle out and they are capable to decreasing the troposphere temperatures because they absorb solar radiation and scatter it back to space.

I think they delete earthquakes near katla. I suggest er keep images of them to make the comparison

Here is from earlier today

and this is now (the earthquake on myrdalsiokull is missing)

Did anyone see the face in the smoke???

I was thinking the exact same thing.

I was also wondering if we are seeing steam again near her flanks:

Bad thing is that we cant be sure if this is steam or low clouds/fog. But if this insists in specific places (as the clouds from yesterday and the other day) then it may be something.

people say that the snow melt on katla is because 'summer has started', but go take a look at Hekla

snow sticking around well there.

the snow has melted from the magma rising.

no.

yes. Youll notice two things before the last major uptick in eruptive intensity(overnight May 5-6), which also happened before the Apr 14th eruption:

- the tremor amplitude went up.
- number of EQ's on Eyja increased.

So, likely to be a big increase in eruptive activity soon. Get yer popcorn ready! Could be several days though.

I saw one in the Mulakot sill pic cam a lil while ago. It looked just like KFC's Colonel Sanders.
