Nobody seems to talk about THIS volcano (see below) but this one's the real stinker. Short clip of history :

Don't worry about that one. When it starts to get busy we will talk about it!

Nothing happening there as yet.

Most of Iceland's volcanoes are stinkers as far as Europe is concerned.

Santiaguito volcano is acting up,

GUATEMALA CITY (AFP) – The Santiaguito volcano has showered sand and ash over a large area of western Guatemala in an "unusual" and "violent" display, the national seismological institute has said.

Another one to watch... Llaima - one of Chile's biggest and most active volcanoes... volcanic alert risen from 3 - 4.

Although the images obtained from the cameras installed by SERNAGEOMIN around the volcano showed no change in its behavior, the Llaima volcano has submitted amendments to its seismic activity as of April 15. At that time, monitoring equipment detected the occurrence of earthquakes with higher energy levels and signs of tremor with durations of up to 20 minutes. Given the above, it is concluded that significant variation in the monitoring parameters. Therefore, SERNAGEOMIN change the volcanic alert level from Yellow Alert Yellow Alert Level 3 to Level 4. It continues with ongoing monitoring of the volcano 24 hours a day and keep the radio suggested exclusion of 4 km around the main crater. Any change in the alert, the Service shall immediately.

Exercise in image manipulation .. often there is hidden detail in digital imagery - I think this volcano pic is no exception. Thanks for sharing - enjoy : ) Original V V This is the recent ash-spewing, tongue-twisting Icelandic volcano

WOW. Cool stuff there man. Kinda resembles some of those Mandlebrot fractal images. I guess maybe lightening might follow some sort of patterns mathematically.
Whatever the reason though thanks for posting my next few PC wallpapers.

Vanuatu - Gaua Volcano

This really is some plume - about 2km wide. See the Nasa image taken on the 24th April.

Guatemala - Santiaguito.

Good blog about the volcano. This blog (Magma Cum Laude) is worth bookmarking - it is a good one.

Another in Iceland?

Not yet!!! but.....

Another volcano in Iceland has been flagged. See this post on Eruptions! for details.

nice photo ,,,

all of the recently added pics to this thread are just awesome and they make me proud of what mamma nature can do .

Thought I would put this here as well in case the thread to which I replied gets buried, as it might.

This activity actually has diminished slightly, but there is still current activity to the NW of Askja which is not far from the Vatnajokull glacier.

People should also note that this glacier has Grímsvötn underneath it and another volcano Esjufjöll which has recently been flagged as a potential eruption site - maybe next year or so.

Smithsonian info on Esjufjöll

Smithsonian info on Grímsvötn

Map of the relevant area.

Iceland has a number of active volcanoes and it is a certainty that there will be another eruption in the near future, and of course the current one could go on for another year.

By the way, with regard to the recent 'excitement' about Hekla, I should point out that last time Hekla erupted there were no earthquakes until 1 hour before it happened! That lady gives away nothing.

And the point is?

This is Volcano Watch. Neither of these are significant enough (yet?) to warrant their own thread I feel. [It is the Taurus in me]

Now if it was Toba........................

(Thanks by the way - and I gave you S&F on both)

Great pic of Eyja from the Mulakot cam. Clouds of volcanic ash over the airfield.

Someone mentioned vanishing quakes - not sure if it was here or Quake Watch.

I thought you might like this animated image of the quakes from 28th until now (13:50 BST)

Amazing photos. Thanks for posting those.

There seems to be an instrumentation problem in Iceland. The Godabunga instrument stopped displaying data the minute it hit the 1st May, and likewise the earthquake maps.

This is the Vatna map just before midnight UTC. You can see red quake which had happened very recently and should be on the map for 24 hrs

[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/d7908e1fd16d.png[/atsimg]

Now here is the map just after midnight - and it is still like that now.

I also looked at the all Iceland map and it was completely clear - not a quake in sight. Then 10 minutes later there were three, 2 blue and a yellow in the far NE corner, and then 10 minutes later they had vanished again.

In the absence of any further information I have to conclude that Iceland has sunk.

nows thats something huge ....

reply to post by PuterMan


You can't say Iceland has sunk..

there will be 3 threads by the end of the day saying how the Russian HAARP has sunk Iceland.
