Warning of man made earthquakes in Hengill volcano
Posted on May 20, 2015 by Jón Frímann

Almannavarnir put out a warning yesterday (19-May-2015) about increased risk of man made earthquakes in Hengill volcano. This happens when a water is pumped down into the ground it changes the pressure in the rock and creating earthquakes as a consequence. There is a risk of earthquakes with magnitudes up to 4,5 or larger. The first pumping down of this leftover water is expected to end by 19-June-2015. [link to www.jonfr.com]

Pumping of leftover water?
Sounds like fracking?

Please, someone tell me they aren't fracking in Iceland.

Ah, right.
Geothermal. Not oil

Yes it's Geothermal energy

New swarm of deep earthquakes in Katla volcano

There is no way to confirm at this point that to be the case. At the moment there is nothing to suggest that eruption is imminent in Katla volcano at this point. This deep earthquake activity appears to be over for now.

Thread: Sakurijima in Japan letting out a enormous eruption right now.

they're TIMELAPSE images

it's not 'unsolicited', it's FACT

i'ma grade 1 doomer btw, who thinks the Daily FAIL are a bunch of tits, so there!

apart from the fact she is full, and ready to blow, you mean?

think of an already fully inflated balloon. give it a few more puffs of air,,,,, what's the worst that could happen?

realise this. they use fracking as a cover up tool for the perfectly natural forces Mother Earth is unleashing on us all at the moment.

buying themselves some valuable time to save their own worthless arses, that's all they're doing.

this Volcano is in Mexico

Popocatepetl emits 160 exhalations

Mexico.- The National Center for prevention of disasters (Cenapred) recommended that the population not to approach the area of Popocatepetl, because in the last 24 hours the Colossus issued at least 160 low intensity exhalations.

The body of the Ministry of the Interior (Segob) explained those conditions could pose a potential threat to residents in surrounding areas because it might be falling ballistic fragments, by what the activity of the volcano remains under permanent surveillance.

According to the report of the Cenapred, some fumes were accompanied by water vapor, gas and ash emissions.

IMHO for Katla: These are in my opinion the final steps to the onset of the last pre-eruptive cycle, or we are in it already. Deeper quakes were constantly but slowly increasing, but lately, the frequency of these deep magmatic quakes has increased substantially, along with the magnitudes.

This graph will be interesting to see when it gets updated.
[link to hraun.vedur.is]

Also of note is a slow but steady inflation, tho not in the pre-eruptive magnitudes.

[link to strokkur.raunvis.hi.is]

Tho it is slowly waking up, Katla is enough of a beast to give clear signs of an imminent eruption. Katla will give us the “oh shit” moment when it decides her time has come and starts the quake storm, and those will be some interesting times, like every eruption onset phase always is. Not to mention wide scale GPS deformation.

What to expect from Katla? Besides the usual flooding, personally I would expect something on the order of 0.8-3 km3 of ejecta and air travel disruption, depending on the wind conditions. So a VEI4.8 to VEI5.3
I also expect an explosive eruption (obviously), given the volcano is under a glacier, its explosive past and due to high posibility of evolved magma in the chamber(s) (andesite to rhyolite) below the caldera.
A new caldera forming event is highly unlikely, but with volcanoes you never know, so there is always that small small percent of probability for every volcano to do something out of the ordinary, which in this case would be the new caldera forming event and/or a VEI6 eruption. But very unlikely is not the same as impossible.

Bottom line, to wake up a volcano like Katla, it takes quite some time and especially energy. Katla is a “fun” volcano to monitor, and when it decides its time, we will have a great chance to learn something new and to repeat the old. :)

But all the doomsday prophecies around Katla are not really legit. She would really have to erupt above 7-10km3 of ejecta to cause something noteworthy weather-wise on a more global or at least hemispheral scale, given its north location.

We will see. Katla is my favourite volcano, and its really fun to monitor its development. But untill it erupts, we still have the Vatnajokull activity, especially Grimsvotn starting to get a bit restless in its own respect and Oraefajokull getting some deeper quakes lately. And Oraefajokull is another rhyolitic beast by Icelandic scales, which would be another big problem for aviation and Iceland, and possibly N Europe and UK due to ash, should it decide to go off.

As I have said for Katla, I expect it to erupt 0.8 to 3km3 of tephra ejecta. For comparison, Calbuco in April had 0.21km3, Mt. Saint Helens 1km3, last Grimsvotn had 0.7km3 and Eyjafjallajökull had 0.25km3.
So bottom line, we are looking at a possible decent eruption whenever it happens, at least on the order of Mt. Saint Helens, but it could also be easily twice or three times the size of it.

Restive Guatemalan Volcano Causing Concern



Volcán de Fuego - Guatemala

Ash plume from an earlier eruption of Volcán de Fuego.

Belching of ash and vapor, Guatemala’s Volcán de Fuego (fire volcano) prompted officials to warn air traffic and nearby residents that the mountain could produce a significant eruption at any time.
