Ah saw the vid and pics now too, thank you all!

Way-hey!!!! Weekend doom!!!

Am off to stock up on red wine and crisps.........

Gotta find that cable for the computer/big telly screen.....

Oh, and petrol for the generator.....

Pity I don't know any doom girls to invite over for a weekend on the boat....

Exactly, that was what we were pointing out after Luisport posted the nightpicture on the former page. He thought it was a picture from Bardarbunga last night but it was Eyafjallajokul back in 2010.

Idiot!

It's a 4.8 in the northeast part of the Caldera.

EMSC's magnitudes and localizations aren't good , IMO have better stations, need more time but the parameters are correct.

need some anger management there lol

Good morning everyone.
That was an exciting night!
And with a 4.8 quake at Bardarbunga less than an hour ago, today might be exciting too.

Since the eruption was nominal, I suspect that all it has done is bought some time and altered the "game plan". The entire event will not play out in prime time as most of us wish. The worst will happen at the most inopportune moment...that's a given! Things will readjust to the new change and the repressurization will continue. I don't see any change in tremors and general widespread unrest. The statement that I found about this event being "off the charts" in historical measurement, tips me off bad! The volume has to be massive...fed from the mantle endlessly, so to speak. Both Barda and Askja act very unstable...especially Barda...I'm not too keen on the "ring effect" of all the quakes...that's looking ominous. Askja is a wild-card and looks to be waiting for the right moment and that particular agitation. And back quickly to the point of mantle fed volume...for me that's the eye-catcher of the whole mess. I reflect on my college coursework and global geological history...I find that the planet (and us) have been spoiled by relative calm...so, maybe in the end, this Iceland incident won't be the "one", it oh so easily can be somewhere else...BUT, this particular "set-up" is just screaming trouble. I'm not sure I've felt a more disturbing prospect cross my path ever. Something is telling me to watch this so carefully. For the first time that I can recognize...my attitude about this has been split 50/50...both excitement and anticipation and then, lurking in the background...dread, unrest, insecurity, and extremely raceing thoughts. I say, we all hang on tight, it's going to be a wild ride. Thanks for letting me share...best to all!!!!!

Can anyone get any cams to work today?
I get 'server not responding' on both Mila cams.
And it doesn't seem to load on the Malin Pebble website either.

Guess the whole world is watching now?

Great pics of the eruption area!

1,187 Earthquakes were reported in Iceland yesterday, that's almost 1 every minute!

Wheres the anger? You are an idiot for posting that. Or are you claiming to be an expert on the subject now?

No one creeped out about the fact that SG got a prediction right ?

Nice view...and thoughts.

Lol - he had to be right sooner or later :)

The last time he got one right...i don't know. It was an earthquake in the Pacific NW.

Special thanks for your investment in the thread...I've been with it from the beginning...quietly watching! LOL. And thanks too for allowing me the input. Watch ON!!!

Love it!
'Wet fart' is an awesome description!

Does anyone know what the facts are?
Just how many sudden earth changes have occurred in our history?

Updated with new photos right now :)

recent 2.7 and 2.1 in the cluster
