Ok posting this again because holy shit that is awesome. let the page load then scroll for a flip book cartoon of doom... well it helps put more perspective on the nature of the fissure. I wish we could get a whole month of this.

there is something glowing over on the left
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23807733


I just noticed that. The cams are working, but the images are either obscured by smoke, or the eruption has settled down. My money's on smoke because I can see a faint flair at about 9 o clock 3/4's of the way to the left in the image. There is also a small pinpoint hotspot on the bottom right.

To me it looks like the whole ring fault 10km caldera is going to go at the same time....

its like the whole midalantic ridge is re-pressurizing under iceland.

like luis said

its super deep to be affecting many of the volcanos.
 Quoting: The South Park Agenda


Fplease post as to what to expect if this happens.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36093087


From what I have gathered watching all the documentaries and the histories of iceland, along with what luis and the others have posted. I believe we would be looking at something similar in nature to what occurred in 1783.

SO2 gas, very very cold winter. however, the eruptions would have to continue for many months.


speculation:
bascially if the plates are represurizing under iceland, then many volcanoes would have to go off over the next 6-9 months across iceland for serious doom. However, under the current conditions there will already be effects with the winter IMO.

Excellent observation and I agree 100% with your speculation...Sending Green your way!

Does anyone have data that tells us what the height of the caldera on Barda was near the beginning of this event?

It'd be nice to have a reference point so we can see, cumulatively, what the overall drop in height has been to go with the three day rolling average we currently have access to.
 Quoting: Thulsa


I may be wrong though I believe it was 1925 meters. We are currently at about a 25meter drop. The article on volcano press stated that a 40 meter drop would be the maximum threshold that the caldera could withstand. Again, my figures may be off some though I am going by memory from prior posts by Luis and others.
 Quoting: MUSIC MAN


At a 3.5cm regular drop per hour base on the 25 mts already dropped it will take 29.7 days to reach the 40mts drop obviously the rate is increasing and going faster with every earthquake and pressure building inside.

showing increase in drop rate and variability.

its speeding up.


my personal thoughts on the graph are indicating parts of the caldera falling away releasing the weight of the caldera, which then rises due to the pressure of the caldera. thus the up and down balancing motions.

its breathing and balancing as the caldera is dissolved away from under it.

i dont know if that is valid, just seems possible for observations

The mila cams are functioning, you can see that the image is refreshing if you maximise the video frame and turn your screen brightness to max.

Must be some serious fog over there at the moment.

My bet on the caldera is it will fall away abruptly. Watch for the plots to disappear completely. By that time the show will be on the cams.

Does the 25 meter drop mean we only have 15 meters to go? The problem is the nonuniform acceleration. They can use computer programs to fit the graph to a curve and have a good idea when we reach 40 meters. I made some crude calculations using uniform acceleration. The problem is arriving at the acceleration value. I just made an average using the three velocities and time periods. Plugging in all of the values I've come up with a rough estimate of the time remaining for another 15 meter drop. That came to 89 hours. Of course the acceleration in deflation is not uniform, but this is just a guess.

As we all focus on what is happening with the Caldera of Miss Bard, let's not forget what is happening with the fissure and the the effects that the expelled chemicals will have on humans, food, our climate, and economies worldwide.

Once again, it is crucial that this event come to an end, if not, we must continue to spread the knowledge that we have all gained from monitoring and sharing on this thread to others so that they will be aware and thus properly prepare.

It appears that this event is likened to birth pains. If so its not end of the world, but a nasty scenario. Especially for me. Trouble is we are getting within a reasonable percentage of likelihood for that. It’s not a far fetched scenario anymore. It is possible at the moment. And it’s progressing towards it. Albeit we do not know how much energy is required for that

I agree with you. The experts continue to speculate as to what type of eruption we could be dealing with. I have read estimations that vary from a VEI 2 to a
VEI 7.

To me the most staggering thought is that we have ten thousand years worth of ice built up in the caldera which is the size of two empire state buildings/ 2000 ft. We can only hope that the worst case scenario does not play out...though we must continue to monitor, create awareness and begin to prepare, hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.
