  1. this thing is mad tonight but need to really wait for the weather to die down to see if this not weather related
  2. Volcanoes Today, 31 Oct 2014: Shishaldin volcano Friday Oct 31, 2014 16:00 PM | Shishaldin (United States, Aleutian Islands): Eruptive activity at the volcano continues. Most of the time, it seems to be weak, probably strombolian in nature, but there have been episodes with more intense activity, possibly lava fountaining, evidenced by strong tremor and elevated surface temperatures. Such an episode occurred during 25-28 Oct. Elevated surface temperatures were observed in satellite images beginning on October 25, and early that evening seismic tremor began to be recorded on nearby seismic stations, accompanied by stronger thermal anomalies. New deposits of ash and ballistics darkened the summit area, indicating the activity was energetic enough to eject material from a depth of several hundred meters (~600 ft / 200 m) within the summit crater. The activity was recorded on infrasound arrays located in Akutan, 90 mi (145 km) to the southwest, and Dillingham, 363 mi (585 km) to the northeast.

In this situation, it is likely that the eruptive fissure would le ngthen southwards un der Dyngjujokull, resulting in a jo kulhlaup and an ash - producing eruption. It is also possible that eruptive fissures could develop in another location under the glacier.  Large - scale subsidence of the caldera occurs, causing an eruption at the edge of the caldera. Such an eruption would melt large quantities of ice, leading to a major jo kulhlaup, accompanied by ash fall . http://en.vedur.is/media/jar/Factsheet_Bardarbunga_20141031.pdf The total depression in the caldera is now about 42 meters re the point about laki its not nowhere near that yet however as we cannot predict this anything is possible... updates today http://icelandreview.com/news/2014/10/31/geothermal-heat-bardarbunga-melts-glacier new video inside and good http://icelandreview.com/news/2014/10/30/new-video-volcano-taken-helicopter also no cams now http://www.livefromiceland.is/webcams/bardarbunga/ all we can do now is watch (but for now not the cams) so2 updates http://satepsanone.nesdis.noaa.gov/pub/OMI/OMISO2/northern_atlantic.html

  8. Volcanoes Today, 30 Oct 2014: Stromboli volcano, Popocatépetl, Bardarbunga, Turrialba, Kilauea, Santiaguito, Fuego, Shiveluch Thursday Oct 30, 2014 20:00 PM | Thermal image of the upper Sciara del Fuoco of Stromboli View of the eruption this morning (Mila webcam) County of Hawaii media image of lava flow reaching earth barrier in Pahoa village on Oct 29, 2014. View of the lava flows moving into Pahoa village on the afternoon of 29 Oct (image: HVO) Ash explosion from Popoatépetl yesterday afternoon Glow from the crater of Copahue on 27 Oct (image: SERNAGEOMIN) Stromboli (Eolian Islands, Italy): (30 Oct) The effusive eruption that had started on 7 August seems to be ending: the lava flow emitted from the 650 m vent at the eastern base of the summit crater complex has decreased a lot two days ago and seems to have almost (or completely) stopped by today. INGV Catania reports strong degassing from the summit vents. Bardarbunga (Iceland): (30 Oct) Huge lava effusion rates continue to characterize the ongoing eruption at the Holuhraun fissure. There are no signs of the eruption ending soon. Earthquakes continue to be frequent under the central volcano's caldera. Shiveluch (Kamchatka): (30 Oct) An ash plume was reported last evening rising to approx. 30,000 ft (9 km) altitude and extending east (Tokyo VAAC). Most likely, a collapse of a part of the growing lava dome (or an explosion) occurred. In the first case, the ash plume is likely associated with a pyroclastic flow. Popocatépetl (Central Mexico): (30 Oct) Overall, the volcano's activity has remained unchanged. Occasional explosions produce ash plumes that rise 1-2 km above the volcano. Yesterday, the volcano was a bit more active and had 5 such eruptions. Overnight incandescence is observed comming from the central and east sector of the crater. Santiaguito (Guatemala): (30 Oct) The viscous lava flow on the eastern side continues to advance slowly. No significant explosive activity from the lava dome has been reported recently. Fuego (Guatemala): (30 Oct) The volcano's activity has been stable over the past weeks. Mild to moderate strombolian explosions continue. Yesterday, the observatory reported 11 weak explosions (ash plumes rising up to 500 m) and 13 moderate ones (ash plumes up to 800 m). The plumes drifted SE and W for approx. 10 km before dissipating. Light ash fall occurred in downwind areas. The explosions at the summit produce incandescent avalanches on the upper slopes of the volcano. Turrialba (Costa Rica): A relatively large explosion occurred at the volcano last night at 23:40 local time. According to local news, the eruption lasted about 45 minutes and was accompanied by strong seismic activity, which was felt by the local population.########## As the eruption occurred at night, there are no visual reports. At the moment, there is no precise information about the nature (phreatic ?) and size of the eruption (height of eruptive column, ash volume etc) but ash fall was reported from Heredia, 55 km northwest of the volcano, and Coronado, 25 km to the west on the outskirts of the capital San Jose. This suggests the plume was drifting NW. Volcanologists from OVSICORI-UNA had climbed the volcano's summit yesterday morning and observed very elevated temperatures. Seismometers also recorded phases of tremor during the day. Copahue (Chile/Argentina): Signs of unrest at the volcano have decreased and SERNAGEOMIN lowered the alert level back to yellow: Seismicity declined during the past days, the volcanic edifice showed deflation and a crater lake has reformed at the bottom of El Agrio crater. Glow from the summit, probably caused by very hot gasses, was last seen on 27 Oct (but bad weather prevented observations since).
  9. KÄ«lauea volcano eruption update Pahoa resident builds diversion barrierUpdate Thu 30 Oct 19:35 Prominent among other "hot topics" today, the Pahoa resident whose house is immediately in threat has constructed a 5m/15ft earth barrier to attempt to divert the lava around his house. While the legality of his action has come into question, local officials are stressing constructive dialog the unites, not divides, the community. However, as of this morning the lava has reached the barrier which still remains in place and began spreading around it. The earth barrier can be seen in the USGS photo in our previous post, as well as in the County images released this morning. Other important developments are the arrival and deployment of 80 US National Guard who will work under the authority of the Police Department. These are local residents coming back to help their community as part of the supplementary force. Also, the power pole which has so far survived the lava flow has shown signs of burning but has been stabilized & reinforced with no loss of electricity to customers.

Lava flows continue to move into PahoaUpdate Thu 30 Oct 04:01 View of the lava flows moving into Pahoa village on the afternoon of 29 Oct (image: HVO) This afternoon, the lava flow continued to move through private property and gets ever closer to the Pahoa village road. The leading edge of the flow was advancing about 10 m (11 yd) per hour this afternoon. It flow moved downslope about 125 m (136 yd) over the past 24 hours. The flow width was less than about 50 meters (55 yards) at the leading edge. As of 4:15 pm (29 Oct local time), the flow was about 185 m (202 yd) in a straight line distance from PÄhoa Village Road and about 775 meters (850 yd) in a straight-line distance from Highway 130. The lava lobe south of the main flow and upslope of Apa`a Street was not active today, but there were a couple of small breakouts on the north side of the flow that have advanced 70 to 110 m (75 to 120 yd) in the past day.

  11. Geothermal heat continues to increase in Bárðarbunga. Scientists on a surveillance flight above the volcano yesterday could clearly see cauldrons that had formed in the glacier on the western and southeastern rim of the caldera, ruv.is reports. The largest cauldron has deepened by 25 meters (82 feet) in one month. Scientists link this development to the subsidence of the caldera, which now measures 40 meters. The subsidence cannot be detected with the naked eye as the caldera is 8 km wide. http://icelandreview.com/news/2014/10/29/more-earthquakes-bardarbunga-heat-increases i posted this earlier but thought i would add this again cauldrons forming on the west and south east rim of the caldera what happens next is hard to call but i feel this is far from finished
  12. certainly active tonight and the quake at 1.10 to nearly 1.12 looks like a triple quake http://www.livefromiceland.is/webcams/bardarbunga-2/ activity is higher at the dike tonight as you can see additional fountains now too http://www.livefromiceland.is/webcams/bardarbunga-2/
  13. Volcanoes Today, 29 Oct 2014: Kilauea volcano Wednesday Oct 29, 2014 20:00 PM | County of Hawaii media image of lava flow through Pahoa village on Oct 28, 2014. HELCO crews work to protect power lines on Pahoa Village Rd on Oct 28, 2014. Kilauea (Hawai'i): According to the latest report, the lava flow front is now 280 m/yds from Pahoa Village Road, averaging about 10 m/yds per hour. Lava has already consumed a few small agricultural structures, and there are perhaps 10-15 residences in its direct path on both sides of the road. Residents have been placed on an "evacuation notice" without being forced to leave, so that they can see what happens to their property and hopefully bring some emotional closure to the ordeal.

  18. More Earthquakes in Bárðarbunga, Heat Increases By Eygló Svala Arnarsdóttir October 29, 2014 08:56 Updated: October 29, 2014 10:17 Bárðarbunga. Photo: Páll Stefánsson. Seismicity continues in Bárðarbunga volcano in Vatnajökull glacier. A magnitude 4.4 earthquake hit 11.5 km (7.3 miles) east of the volcano shortly before 2:30 last night and the strongest earthquake recorded there yesterday was magnitude 5.1. Geothermal heat continues to increase in Bárðarbunga. Scientists on a surveillance flight above the volcano yesterday could clearly see cauldrons that had formed in the glacier on the western and southeastern rim of the caldera, ruv.is reports. The largest cauldron has deepened by 25 meters (82 feet) in one month. Scientists link this development to the subsidence of the caldera, which now measures 40 meters. The subsidence cannot be detected with the naked eye as the caldera is 8 km wide. The eruption in Holuhraun, north of Vatnajökull, continues. The lava erupting in a fissure there originates in the Bárðarbunga magma chamber and is channeled to the eruption site via an intrusive dike, which formed underground before the eruption started in August. The eruption is visible on webcams, including one established by telecommunication company Míla in August. http://icelandreview.com/news/2014/10/29/more-earthquakes-bardarbunga-heat-increases heres the over 3 quakes so far today Wednesday 29.10.2014 13:34:59 64.673 -17.454 7.0 km 3.7 99.0 5.0 km NE of Bárðarbunga Wednesday 29.10.2014 11:07:46 64.679 -17.415 4.2 km 3.6 99.0 6.9 km NE of Bárðarbunga Wednesday 29.10.2014 09:49:45 64.681 -17.463 7.6 km 3.7 99.0 5.5 km NE of Bárðarbunga Wednesday 29.10.2014 08:30:07 64.669 -17.447 3.5 km 3.9 99.0 5.0 km NE of Bárðarbunga Wednesday 29.10.2014 05:23:38 64.670 -17.452 4.6 km 4.8 99.0 4.9 km NE of Bárðarbunga Wednesday 29.10.2014 02:29:20 64.665 -17.364 7.5 km 4.6 99.0 8.3 km ENE of Bárðarbunga Wednesday 29.10.2014 02:18:22 64.677 -17.445 7.7 km 3.9 99.0 5.7 km NE of Bárðarbunga Wednesday 29.10.2014 02:12:02 64.624 -17.380 7.3 km 3.6 99.0 7.2 km ESE of Bárðarbunga all around the ne again barring 1 to the ese and all fairly deep http://www.livefromiceland.is/webcams/bardarbunga/ best view is cam 2 at present just added Wednesday 29.10.2014 15:03:36 64.615 -17.441 4.0 km 3.6 99.0 5.0 km SE of Bárðarbunga http://en.vedur.is/media/jar/Factsheet_Bardarbunga_20141029.pdf

One was at only 100 m distance last evening and is likely to become its first victim very soon. Residents of Pahoa are preparing to evacuate their homes. From HVO's update this evening (morning local time): "The June 27th flow is advancing northeast through residential areas between ApaÊ»a St/Cemetery Rd and PÄhoa Village Road. The leading edge of the fastest advancing lobe of the flow has been moving at rates varying between 10 and 15 m/hr (11 to 16 yd/hr) during the past 24 hours, except for a period between 2am and 5am, when the front stopped advancing and the flow inflated in a small topographic low. At 6am, the lobe was about 75m (82 yd) wide. At 9AM, the flow front was about 440 m (480 yd) straight-line distance from PÄhoa Village Road and was advancing at 15 m/hr (16yd/hr)."
