Yellow alert put up for Öræfajökull volcano

Bump for the "Oh, I fck you" vulcano.

Uncertainly level declared for Öræfajökull volcano, aviation code moved to yellow alert
Posted on November 18, 2017 by Jón Frímann
Yesterday the Department of Civil Protection and Emergency Management declared uncertainty level for Öræfajökull volcano. Aviation colour code was also moved up to yellow alert level (can be viewed here).

Current status is that a ice cauldron has formed in the centre of the Öræfajökull volcano caldera. It is about 1 km wide and around 21 to 25 meters deep according to early measurements. This is the first time in documented history that such ice cauldrons has formed in Öræfajökull volcano. It is now believed that the ice cauldron has been emptying it self all week resulting in smell of sulphur in Kvíá glacier river. The glacier river can be viewed here on Google Maps Street View. Currently there is not a lot of earthquake activity happening in Öræfajökull volcano. This is to be expected (I guess). It is also worth noting that Öræfajökull volcano did do in few months what took Eyjafjallajökull volcano 16 years to do until an eruption happened.

There is not a lot of details on earlier eruptions from Öræfajökull volcano. Earliest eruption to our in time took place between 1727 and until 1728 (289 years). Before that an eruption took place in 1362 (655 years) and lasted for five months. Currently I don’t have a lot of information about the current status. This is due to lack of measurements as it was not expected that Öræfajökull volcano would do this even if earthquake activity was happening in the volcano. It was only from October (it seems) that it was figured out that something was going on in Öræfajökull volcano.

How do you pronounce that?

Nobody knows.

The four step evacuation plan the police is currently working with in case things start to heat up, stuff will be added and more finely tuned as more info comes along from scientists, locals and other authorities

Step a:
• Roads leading from highway 1 closed
• External closures installed
• Closures will be at Lómagnúp in the west and Jökulsárlón in the east
• Only residents, scientists, emergency services, transports and other necessary traffic are allowed to enter the area
• Transfer of livestock prepared

Level b:
• All tourists and others who do not need to be in the area should leave it
• Livestock moved away
• Block all traffic into the area other than for emergency services and scientists

Level c:
• Full evacuation of the area

Level d:
• Closures moved west and east with respect to forecasts of ash fall
• Evacuation area re evaluated with respect to forecasts of ash fall

Sounds like "air-a-van-kel". What the fuck are these Icelanders thinking when they name these volcanoes? Do they just want to make sure that nobody knows what volcano is erupting? All of them are called "unpronounceable volcano".

Replying to @janinekrippner
Ör is pronounced like the "ear" in "early"
æ sounds like "I"
Then you say the "fa" like "wha" from "what"
And then you end with a simple "jökull"

And now its easy

Öræfajökull

It said "it"
