Just press your active threads, you should find it near the top then

Am I the only person who can't get the Katla cam to work?

No you're not.

my katla cam doesn t work too.

is katla waking up and that why we can t watch?

Kat cam is back up!!

Try Using internet explorer thats the only way I can get it to work! a few pages back someone popped a link on here of how they fixed it but sadly didnt work for me :(

xx

Aand now appears to have gone back down.

Its not that it doesnt load. I have been able to watch intermettently(internet issues).. it loads fine its that it wont play. its constantly buffering or the little thing in the corner says playlist(X) and the Ruv over and over again.
The hekla cam isnt working for me either but its been like that for a while now.

its working now

In any one case.. its misty as hell and not much to see. DX

The clouds seem to.. flash? o.O weird lookin its probably subtle changes in light the camera just blinks at or something.

OOOOH! Is that good or bad? I assume not too good!

The Grímsvötn / Grímsfjall volcano activity may connect with the sun’s activity.

Recently the sun has occurred in two C-class flares at UTC 20:00-21:00, May 25. The flare flux may arrive on the earth in 8-24 hours, and cause earth crust move, then further re-activate the Grímsvötn / Grímsfjall volcano activity.

thank you
but its not moving to much yet
anu update tremor?

The Gfm tremor plot ( [link to hraun.vedur.is] shows remarkable similarities to the one from Eyjafjallajökull in 2010 if you take into account a rather compressed timescale. After the initial blast, there was a period of decline (G ~15h, E ~3½ days) after which tremor rose significantly again. This second phase of a slower rise and an even slower decline lasted ~60 h in G and ~14 d in E after which there was a break~, or rather, a period of low tremor (G ~13 h, E ~5~6 d). Then tremor rose again and in E there was a renewed eruption that slowly declined and dwindled away to nothing over a period of ~4~ 5 weeks. How long this phase lasts in G is anyone’s guess.

The differences are that the range as measured in output (ton/s) is far more extreme in the case of G (~10,000 to 0 tons) as opposed to E (~100 to ~5) and that after the second phase, G ceased to eject magma whereas E didn’t.

Is this a coincidence or is it an intrinsic property of Icelandic subglacial eruptions?

Nevado del Ruiz seems agitated, according RCN site:
