No they didn't chek them yet...

I think they are running out of budget because of this eruption. At least that was the case regarding University of Iceland. So I suspect they are saving on the budget. Plus, there is lunch break at the moment (18:00 – 20:00 UTC?).

Iceland Review Online has a short article out today, by Eygló Svala Arnarsdóttir, here is most of it:

“Professor of geophysics Magnús Tumi Guðmundsson told ruv.is this morning that as long as the Bárðarbunga caldera is not sinking faster than it has until now and the eruption in Holuhraun remains stable, the probability of a sub-glacial eruption will decrease.

“However, if the caldera starts dropping faster, or the eruption in Holuhraun subsides, then the magma will likely find another way to the surface, he reasoned.

“Volcanologist Ármann Höskuldsson told eyjan.is yesterday that he believes the current activity will lead to a sub-glacial eruption because there is much more magma underground than is currently being emitted at Holuhraun.

“The caldera subsidence also indicates a sub-glacial eruption, although it is impossible to predict when it would start, he added.

According to Magnús Tumi, it is unusual that an eruption remains stable for such a long time. The Holuhraun eruption has now lasted three weeks and one has to go all the way back to the 1963-1967 eruption which created Surtsey island to find a comparable eruption.”

Reasonable, but I am saying it first- the magma chamber will come out in the caldera and by Oct 5-12. The stress of gravitation cannot hold it back. Michaelthearch angel

My gf just said this thread is better than sex.

time to pracice, then

were gonna get a massive earthquake
were gonna get a massive earthquake

What chart are you watching?

“The Way Is Open” to the west, that elbow turn must still be pumped full to Kverfjoll.

The HOF has been looked at pretty closely the last 2 days, and the seismic there has been pretty noisy too, with what was thought to be all wind.
Now looks like the Gjalp is blocking the ring dyke formation, and the lead of the dyke is heading east on it’s merry go round route to the Tingussfjell intrusion dyke

Did it occur to you that the amount of lava that has errupted so far is equivalent to the fall in the caldera?
Perphaps it is the weight off the glacier that is causing this erruption.
Daily the estimated lava flow is +/- 25 million m3. That is more or less the drop of the ice in the caldera.

hummmmmm....

hi everyone, I just managed to get caught up since last night. My "real life" is interfering in a big way with following Ms. Barda too! Anyway, I see she is still riding
on her coaster, up and down. Luis and Guga, thanks for all the great info and theories. I'll be back for the night shift.
