This cam is North of Hekla and looks South towards Eyjafjallajokull.

Hekla has NOT gone off.

This link to quake watch shows the latest quake map. There is nothing.

MSNBC would seem to think otherwise: "BREAKING NEWS: Large plume indicates second Icelandic volcano, Hekla, has begun erupting"

Only a banner at the moment, but I agree that this would confirm it..

EDIT TO SAY: OOPS..

Not sure if this is the same link you posted - probably.

Yep..this is confirmed now. Helka has erupted. S&F to OP for early catch on this. Nice catch.

Link to Msnbc's site. No article but they confirm the eruption.

In the Netherlands a meeting with high ranking officials discussing weither to open up the airspace again has been deferred without any reason givin. Could they have been expecting another eruption??

Alysha, why is there no indication on the Icelandic seismic sites then?

No activity, no tremors, no reports.

Look here - nothing en.vedur.is...

Daddybare just posted about an earthquake swarm on Katla here

Is this true or not? Cant find anything about it on google. My parents are supposed to fly to Europe in two weeks and they're getting worried.

about earthquakes reported at Mt. Katla... is that going to blow too?

Ha, ha, ha. "Panic sex..." You are fanned for that alone. oops, wrong site.

I hope this is just a little poof and not a big deal.

reply to post by PuterMan


That was my first thought too, Puterman, which was why I didn't react more when I originally saw the camera.

It appears now that maybe it HAS gone off. Wish we were wrong though, if it has, this certainly is indicating more of a trend towards the rest of the volcanos reacting....not a suprise by any means, but we could always hope!

I took a screen shot of the plume but can't for the life of me figure out how to convert it to a bit map, or post it on here. Oh well!

Hopefully this is just some steam venting (looks light colored), and nothing major will come of it. I don't it's time to panic yet though, even IF it has woken up....it is not the real threat.

Wow, thanks for posting that in here, I had just been refreshing the page and hadn't noticed this. thanks

Sorry if somebody has already posted this but wikipidia have already updated Hekla as last eruption 19th april 2010.

This is all I got before the camera stopped working. I'm not sure what I'm looking at but it doesn't look like an eruption to me...

wtf. I can't get any confirmation of denial of a 2nd quake

as for the news sources they say it has , why theres nothing showing up on the seismic sites i have no idea other then they have not been updated yet . i wish i knew i can only go by the news sources .

reply to post by boo1981


This is silly folks. There is nothing on the Icelandic papers, nothing on the seismic sites, nothing on the tremor plots and nothing on the quake maps.

Hekla is not erupting

If it was the tremors would be showing at HAU and the quake maps would be going mad. I monitor all of these every 10 minutes and believe me it is not erupting yet.

reply to post by alysha.angel


Alysha the seismic sites update every 5 minutes in real time.
