Eyjafjallajökull Caldera Eruption

I saw little, dark puffs but thought it was a cloud or my imagination.

Yea it sure melted quick, been watching the Katla cam myself and seen some strange smoke coming from the area in question. I will have my eyes glued on the screen now for a few hours, would love to see a live eruption of Katla, as long as everyone is safe.

Thanks in advance!!

Thank you very much, just wanted to make sure i was watching the right one

I dont know if anyone else noticed that camera for "Katla" shows eyjafjallajokull south from Hafelli, so I dont believe that is Katla its looking at. Although I could be wrong...

Looking at the Þórólfsfelli cam Here you can clearly see the flood water starting to rise, pretty dam quick too. Also been looking at a large chunk of glacier than has a crack the whole way around it, will post screen shots of anything of interest.

GOD is very active now think even outside the chart...

I noticed the water rising also. A lot of melt-off right now and you can see the whole side of the mountain shifting down.

In regards to the 'Katla' camera...Putmerman was kind enough to point out in another thread that he believes the Katla cam is actually turned right now to look at the 'other' volcano. It makes it all very confusing so I just don't know anymore....so if nothing else, most likely we are right. It is HOT on top of the errupting volcano.

Check out the tremor plot. It still continues to rise, so it's probably safe to say that things are very far from over.

Why stands there in the second link LEFT by GOD: Eruption: 01:15 UTC????

And they got out of the line(charts), are we crazy or tell they something to quit us down. We don't believe in fairytails????

Sorry i was not paying attention, i don't saw the date, stupid¿¿¿¿

The graph will probably need to be expanded soon to include the 1600 range at the GOD location, the tremors just get bigger and bigger.

All stations reporting sharp increase, God site has been updated to reflect 1500 units.

Judging by the trend upwards I think they'll be expanding it again v. soon.

hraun.vedur.is...

The new plot is out, still maxed at 1400, downward bump in effect... but still trending overall higher then any other time over past 48 hrs

Officially over 1500 now with a sharp spike.

Up it goes... to 1500.. [sorry, double post]

Wonder where this will stop... at what level of tremor activity do geologists start to be worried?!

Edit as double post..

My thoughts exactly (although its back down to 1400 now... < speculation >guess they dont want to scare people with it continuing to go up < /speculation >
