Eyjafjallajökull Caldera Eruption

reply to post by Shant


Welcome No, it doesn't erupt like this all the time. But once she's done I'm sure we'll find another to watch (obsessively) lol

If you look at the Voda cam, and go to where the two images meet, on the bottom image seam you can actually see the bottom of the vent I've circled in the above image. Because it only updates every few seconds it can be harder to spot but the steam does appear.

thx for the lovely welcomes... im def obsessed already..bookmarked all the cams..
its very therapeutic for some weird reason...

I'm watching because there may be a major lahar.

www.youtube.com...

We had a small lahar the other day as the meltwater entered the vents at the top - the torrent at the bottom and the mud/rocks/debris being ejected was amazing to watch,.

dude im shaking... i swear to #...
I just saw a UFO on the katla cam, in full #ing detail flash by in the blink of an eye, it was so fast I had to clarify to myself that I saw it, but it was in #ing detail it was so close... dude maybe im tripping, that's insane

EDIT: dude, there's ufo's everywhere... #ing left right and centre just coming and going in the blink of an eye on the katla cam, i do not know what to make of it, birds? I wish I had recorded it

I see where you are talking about.., thanks for pointing that out.

Second line is here to stay.

any risk Eyja will blow there side away as Mnt st Hellens?

When that happens i hope i see this live! A recorded webcam show! That brings some money. ( just kidding) Its not cool for the poor Icelanders

The Þórólfsfelli shows now some other vents in the background. My face is still and only on the screen.

at least 3 vents in the fore ground...

I'm watching it as well. Pretty amazing.
Does anyone know what this means with all these vents going off ?
Is the dark one in the background the erupting volcano ?

Here's a quick capture

Im thinking were going to see a collapse here, it seems to have sunken quite a bit.

From the top left of the circled area you see sometimes smoke rising. Took a picture from poro (10-15 mins ago) but I still have no clue how to post one a picture.

Nid

Small lahar just occured. Maybe more action to come.

Edit. And the steam is getting closer to the base. Melt seems to be increase the flow of river.

One question I have what is worse case with this volcano from here on out? Could we see a collapse of the caldera and a pyroclastic flow. It looks like more pressure is building up by the way.
