The crater is really setting off some steam now... perhaps new swathe of lava has found its way down?

Plus, when the sun is just right you can see the glacial blue colour of the ice in the new crater (either that or it's my pain meds).

Puterman - they've got me on anti-b's and if they don't work they've threatened hospital

I have also been there done that - drink alot of fluid - TEA! and Relax and sleep! The hopsital is the worst place to be becuase of the germs, so do what you can for yourself in your comfy home!

And, to stay on topic, graphs are still quite elevated.

Thanks for advice

Can't sleep - it's 3.30am Sat night and I'm sleeping on sofa cos cough annoys hubby lol which means I get to doze off while watching Eyja.. she's pouring out much more steam from new crater now - and belchhing black ash up top - could be in for some good action today.



I wonder why the steam vent to the far left of the glacier (dark patch there now) isn't still going...

check out eyja on vodaphone and valahnuk. Fuccccking crazy, the smoke is so insane.

Appears we have a new event. Can anyone post a screen shot of This Someday, I will figure out how to do that when I have some free time!

anyone notice the lights are out in the big house on the hill?

actually now there are dim lights there.. I believe the ash is falling there and obscuring the lights!

Berkeleygal - I'm definitely all woman

Lovely orange tinge to the Vala cam plume this morning and, judging from the outlines becoming visible on the Voda cams the glacial crater is really steaming ferociously this morning, too

Sweet jesus - just clocked the Hvolsvelli cam - masses of activity and she's really chucking out some hot stuff!

haha I just took exactly the same shot - hit prtscrn as soon as that orange glow started

Morning all.

A second vent open now.
Check also the valhanuk cam, quite impressive with the actual blue sky.

Nid
p.s. I hope Moorf feeling better

heheheh, great minds think alike

I do believe today will be a great day for screen shots!

vodafone feed will give us a better idea where the new vent is soon.

I am starting to wondering if it's actually not two new vents.
A second one a bit to the left where it glows up and a smaller one a bit further on the left of that one. This is on the Hvol com
On the Valahnuk the "possible" two new vents are on the right of the old one. On this cam it realy gives the feeling we are looking at three different vents.

Valahnuk cam has also been turned a bit since one or two days to have the first vent in the middle of the cam I think.

Yes, the glacial vent appears to be expanding downhill - it's now a long "chasm" almost with steam venting out. the other new vent, I assume, is on the other side to the glacier....

Also - on the voda cam - I can see two explosive lava events - the main one and one that is erratic to the left of it... can you all see that? Now that must mean a new fissure, surely, and not just from melting into glacier considering the lava being thrown around?>

Hvol com just went down

It is still working for me... hopefully just a temporary glitch your end.

(thx for well wishes, Nidwin, much appreciated )

EDIT - PORO CAM IS BACK ONLINE! YAY!

I'm glad you all still observing and am wonder some of the same things that have been mentioned. I thought there was a second vent. But I think that was a reflection off of the steam. Or lava exploding as it flowed away and contacted ice. I think there is just the main vent and the lava is flowing down under the glacier. I agree it's not one steam vent, it looks as though it's a long fissure. The eruption seems more vigorous. And if the lava is pooling under the glacier, this could cause larger steam explosions later today.

Fire and ice.
