    has felt quieter today

     

    but according to above its actually picked up

     

     

    Yes that was also my comment earlier today, it seems like the larger ones are more frequent at the moment with less smaller ones in between. I wonder if we are on the start of a more general collapse, everything is so fragmented from the last month of rumbling that each EQ now triggers more to collapse and so on. I guess time will tell. Those EQ's down in the Atlantic are interesting, as was the one near Portugal a few weeks back. Interesting to see the movement and stresses on a much larger scale than just Iceland. :)

    This just in. Full details above.

     

    • The eruptive activity at Holuhraun continues at similar intensity. Lava flows at similar rates as yesterday. The lava is flowing towards East into Jökulsá á Fjöllum, slightly narrowing its path. No explosive activity due to the lava and river water interaction has been observed, but steam rises from the lava.
    • Scientists flying over the Bárðarbunga area yesterday reported no new changes in the surface.
    • Air quality in urban areas in the East of Iceland (very poor from the details)
    • Earthquake activity in the caldera of Bárðarbunga remains similar to that of the last days. Epicenters are distributed along the northern and south-eastern caldera fault. Earthquake activity at the dyke tip has decreased. More than 50 events have been detected since midnight. Low frequency tremor has decreased.
    • GPS observations:
      • There are minor crustal movements around the dyke supporting the assumption that the amount of magma flowing into the dyke slightly exceeds the flow of magma erupted to the surface.
      • Considering the time period since the beginning of the eruption slow movements towards the Bárðarbunga caldera indicate continuing subsidence of the caldera.
      • A new GPS station was installed on top of Bárðarbunga yesterday to monitor the subsidence of the caldera floor.

    I can't see the cams from my work laptop, I think my browser is too old. Is White van man showing on Cam 2 like yesterday?  He has a hell of a view, or a view of hell depending on how you look at it. It must be 'relatively' safe there because that radar is a rather expensive piece of kit and I expect they would rather not loose it under a lava flow, flood or hit by a projectile.

    This is a good view. Is that the edge of the glacier bottom right?

     

    Wording on the page translates as follows:

     

    00:12 it is to the new fissure opened in the morning, close Dyngjujökli, and former crater. Lara Ómarsdóttir reporter took a video of the new volcanic rift just north of the perimeter Dyngjujökuls this morning is the first video clip of the new crack.

    Bada 2 the fissure , there might be further development in the foreground.

     

    I think it may be steam rising out of the ground, this could be significant, saturated alluvial deposits are dangerous in situations like this, explosions can happen. attachicon.gifBada 2 fissure.JPG

    I emphasis can and might here, it may be nothing.

    I saw what looked like steam a few days ago, but then again it might have been just dust blowing past the camera's.

     

    I've been reading up about past eruptions in the 1700's and although we are nowhere near those at the moment the facts of the events just goes to show how insignificant life is on this planet and the ability of the earth to snuff us out in an instant!

    So much more to this eruption I feel, I am sure we are in for more treats too.

     

    I have no knowledge in this area but I have a feeling you are right. I note that in the press today that the National Grid are acting to secure additional power supplies for this winter. Whilst this might be pure coincidence I do wonder if this situation has formed part of the reasoning / decision making process which will be clearly going on in the background.

    Got a funny feeling that was the guards on foot taking haste away from their guard posts back to a new line.

     

    well funny you should say that, when they announced the scientists would also be leaving we all knew something was going to happen and what happened less than 24 hours later. I can't see that light now, maybe its off camera. oh well see what its like in the morning - assuming its not all covered in clouds.
