Interestingly like the last Iceland eruption no real prior warning that the eruption was going to start. Perhaps the volcanos of the world have decided to not to give us any warnings in 2025

Eruption over all ready

 The PIT possibly in some cases it might have something to do with the reduction in recent times of the heavy weight of compacted snow and ice, which causes a lid on the volatile mantel.

Looks like Kilauea is back in force after it's brief eruption lull

Yup seems so and looks stronger than it did yesterday.

Got a question for you. Now since rock is a poor conductor of heat most of the previously erupted lava in the lake would have been molten and a fair depth to it. So how does a fissure propagate across the solid lake. You would think it would push the cooler lava aside and come through random cracks.

 The PIT My best educated guess is that it's not the magma but the gases that are propagating to the surface which causes the extension of fissures, the usual analogy to use is 'shaking the fizzy drink' except there's more dynamics going on when it comes to geology. The Dioxide takes the path of least resistance upwards and acts as a vacuum which the magma then follows.

It's kind of the same principle why drilling a hole into a magma chamber won't cause a eruption as without the instability of the magma caused by silica-rich CO2/SO2 it just stays there pooling however many kilometres down. Hopefully that made sense 😅

Eruption stopped yesterday evening with some of the lava draining back into the vent.

Eruption has now picked up again after minor activity through the night and early morning. https://www.youtube.com/usgs/live

Ethiopia seems to be awakening so it might get interesting there very soon? 🌋

12000 evacuated in Ethiopia due to volcanic unrest and subsequent ground displacement causing structural damage.

WWW.BBC.CO.UK

Tremors have been reported in the surrounding area and steam has been seen rising from the volcano.

Series on channel 57 Freeview called Exploration Volcano. Might be worth a look.

It looks like something is beginning to stir in Iceland at Bárðarbunga with +40 quakes - the largest being magnitude 4.4 - being recorded on it's northwest caldera in the last few hours. It occurs just a day after the start of a small outburst flood was recorded from the Vatnajokull Glacier adjacent to Grimsvotn.

IMO has released an update: Powerful earthquake swarm in Bárðarbunga. The largest earthquake was M5.1. About 130 earthquakes have been recorded since this morning. The most powerful earthquake swarm since 2014, when the Holuhraun volcano erupted.

If this blows i assume it’s the big one that is likely to cause travel chaos?

With Vatnajokull having a 'Jökulhlaup' aka a slight Glacier outburst flood over the last 48hr it's possible there's some shallow magma trying to breach the surface somewhere between Grimsvotn and Bárðarbunga, the aviation alert has now been raised to Yellow and it's only a matter of waiting and seeing what happens next... if anything does.

Heading towards next eruption in the Reykjanes peninsula. Possibly in the next two to three weeks. Last time there wasn't any pre-limitary warnings so it's worth keeping an eye on the web cams out there. Of course as Greycag mentions there's two other babies that may also have their own party.

Another area to look at is Grjótárvatn where magma is been injected at depth. If that starts to rise there's a chance of eruption in a area that hasn't seen any activity for thousand years.

Kilauea erupting again and Iceland should see a new eruption soon at Sundhnúkar crater row

So is Vesuvius going to erupt? See this link from the great misinformation site YouTube  

Seems to me this volcano (the media) has been promising much for yonks. 

When I was last there yonks ago the stories were riff then.  Climbed to the rim but not even a whiff or sign of anything.

 Don Hull Not checked thje site, i assume it's a standard youtube click bait affair? However, it's a fairly active volcano, in that in recent geological history it enters eruptive phases on average of around once a century, so given we've had 80 odd years of quiescence it'd be no surprise if it blew off steam in the near future.  Sooner the better in some respects, as rule of thumb for regular erupters with a viscous/gas rich magma supply is the longer the period is between eruptions, then the more violent a new eruption could be.

A small eruption should not be seriously dangerous in theory, although the expansion of the urban sprawl of Naples over recent decades means that can not be taken as gospel.  If you build housing in silly places........

 swebby  swebby was fascinating climbing to the rim after doing a lot of research. The most amusing thing was we went fully prepared with good shoes and sticks. We were overtaken by some who were waistline challenged wearing flip flops. 

Then the visit to Pompeii. memorable.  Anyone wanting a good book to read or listen to try Pompei by Robert Harris.
