Múlakvísl is now 947, having risen by 200 over 24 hours. Surely something other than cold weather is responsible for this. It will be interesting to see if the scientists comment now!

This morning EC continues to skyrocket, now at 1037!

You can find the numbers here. You have to pick a station to start with and then choose from the link. It doesn’t work to link directly to the station.

It already has gone over 1200, it is now at 1241 at this moment.

Oh crap

Katla better behave..one big baddy is enough at a time..

And regarding the other one..

Öræfajökull has been shaking quite a bit over the last 24 hours and according to latest news on RUV, the cauldron is deepening.

EC is now at 1428..

This is just crazy..

Feels like my little island is about to explode.

The hole still deepens

29.11.2017 - 14:18

The hole in Öræfajökull continues to deepen. That means that heat is still there or that the boiler is draining itself, according to geologists. It is believed that he is now about 22 meters deep.

Scientists flew across the area on Monday, but it is not possible when the next flight will be. The development is closely monitored. This picture took Hörður Magnússon's passenger on Icelandair's engine, which was coming to Iceland last yesterday, but the pilot used a good visibility to show passengers the part of the highlands and can clearly distinguish the sailor at the front of the picture.

“For the last 48 hours the earthquake number seems to be rising.”
I would consider this statement as proven…! –> [link to hraun.vedur.is]
Even for the last 6 days.

Current rate seems to be from 3 earthquakes/h to 10 earthquakes/h at the moment. This is in line with rhyolite magma slowly pushing upwards in Öræfjökull volcano at the moment.

Slow increase in earthquake activity in Öræfajökull volcano

There seems to be a slow increase in earthquake activity in Öræfajökull volcano. For the last 48 hours the number seems to be rising. This is how it looks on this graph from Icelandic Met Office.


This increase in earthquake activity suggest that more magma is pushing up the volcano at faster rate. The main idea now is that the magma that is pushing up Öræfajökull volcano is rhyolite in nature and that seems to be confirmed to an extent by the earthquake activity as it now appearing.

How this develops is a big question due to lack of accurate historical accounts. What is known about the eruption in 1362 was written down up to two centuries later and when that happens lack of accuracy is passed into the written record. The written record for the eruption in 1727 – 1728 is slightly better but is far from being accurate.

Interview with prof, Pál Einarsson
There’s magma movement deep under Askja and Herðubreið. However the pressure under Askja seems to be decreasing and has done so for the last 30 years, though in four areas close to Askja there are deep quakes that can only be explained by magma movement.

There’s absolutely no reason to be worried though.

Interesting quake at Bárðarbunga, a 3.2 at 6.8km depth.
And a little swarm going on near Öraefajökull.

I forget what rhyolite magma correlates with. More ash in the air?

Jon, what’s your experience and hunches tell you at this point? i.e. your best guess?

Öræfjökull volcano will erupt before Bardabunga or the other way around?

Rhyolite magma is slow moving and its explosive type due to how thick it is. That means the eruption is only ash and no magma. This ash is also fine grained and that means it can stay for a long period up in the air. When a eruption happens in Öræfajökull volcano (if current process doesn’t stop) expect massive flight disruptions in Europe and even in the U.S/Canada few days later.

Iceland: 5 volcanoes are preparing for eruption
December 3, 2017 by Marc Szeglat


According to geophysicist Páll Einarsson five volcanoes are preparing to Iceland currently on an eruption. These 5 are Hekla, Katla, Bardarbunga, Grimsvotn and Öræfajökull. In my opinion, still belongs to this list Herdubreid, although you can consider this as part of the Bardarbunga system. Of particular concern is the situation at Öræfajökull. This volcano has the potential to be a major explosive eruption that could hamper air traffic over Europe. According to the geophysicist it could also for the simultaneous eruption of several volcanoes come. During my several months of Iceland-stay in 2004, I talked with PállEinarsson about possible volcanic eruptions. Even then, the researchers expected an imminent outbreak of Katla. This is illustrated in which temporal dimensions you have to think in the context of the geology of the planet. Today there was an earthquake M 3.2 on the eastern edge of the caldera Bardarbunga. Under the Öræfajökull, a small earthquake swarm manifested.

Gunung Agung with increase in seismic
In Bali it rattles under increasing Gunung Agung. The amplitudes of volcanic earthquakes are increasing noticeably. Phased moderate tremor was registered. For hours the volcano shrouded in clouds, so that visual observations are missing.



Earthquake in Ecuador
On the coast, an earthquake occurred Mw 62. The hypocenter was at 40 km depth and 28 km northeast of Bahía de Caráquez. The Geonauts on Reventador may have also felt the earthquake. The volcano itself is currently on its active side and produced frequente ash eruptions.

5 in Iceland, 1 in Bali, 1 in Indonesia, 1 in Mexico, some in Italy...we have quite a lot of activity going on! I need to go look at what is considered "normal" for how many are erupting all at the same time!

Continued earthquake activity in Öræfajökull volcano
Posted on December 4, 2017 by Jón Frímann
Earthquake activity continues in Öræfajökull volcano. There is a small drop in earthquake activity every few hours just before it increases again. This seems to be normal for earthquake like Öræfajökull volcano. The magma in Öræfajökull volcano is expected to be rhyolitic in nature. That explains the nature of the earthquakes swarms that are now taking place.

Largest earthquake in last 48 hours had the magnitude of 1,7. At the moment larger earthquakes have not yet happened in last few weeks (since the magnitude 3,5 earthquake took place). The earthquakes at the outline and some distance from Öræfajökull volcano seems to be fault lines that move as Öræfajökull volcano continues to inflate. There is some risk of earthquakes at those locations, it is my view that risk is mostly minimal for now at least. I don’t know how the development has been for the cauldron in Öræfajökull volcano caldera since I haven’t seen any news about the development of that area.

last time a vei 7 erupted, there were about a billion on the planet, and there was starvation deaths

7 times that many now..........

matter of time now, before hell on earth.
