Eruptions

Webcam capture of Eyjafjallajökull erupting on May 2, 2010. You can see the steam plume on the middle flanks of the volcano – this is likely a lava flow coming from the summit vents.

A brief update on activity at Eyjafjallajökull:

Overnight, the lava flows from Eyjafjallajökull could be seen in the crater of the ice cap – some of the images posted by Eruptions readers are simply stunning. You can clearly see the red glow of the strombolian eruptions at the vent, and the glow of the lava flows as they had down the slope of the volcano. This has brought a lot of new melting to the snow/glacier on the volcano, and the evidence of that can be seen in the flooding near the volcano. Recent reports have indicated that the harmonic tremor at the volcano has increased today (icelandic – english translation) as well (usually a signal that accompanies magma movement underground). However, there are so far no suggestions that the nature of the eruption has changed over the last eight days. This morning, you can definitely see the evidence of the lava flows working their way downhill with a large steam plume on the flanks of Eyjafjallajökull (see webcam image above).

UPDATE 12:15 PM EDT 5/2/2010: More news on the increased tremor, in icelandic and english.

The link to the Icelandic news is broken, as it has “br” in it for some reason, remove that and close the space and it should work fine.

The harmonic tremor increase also shows up on my helicorder, even if there currently is some wind in the area that creates noise on my geophone measurements.

According to Icelandic news on Rúv the harmonic tremors now are more then in the beginning of the eruption.

It looks like today will be a day of great changes. In just the past hour I have seen a new crack form along the middle right hand side of the glacier tongue (in the middle of the Thoro cam view) and now it is steaming as well. The opening at the bottom right seems to be collapsing, and I thought I saw wisps of steam towards the left, just above the vertical face.

Now if Mother Nature would just cooperate a little bit, and clear those clouds out of there, lol I imagine all that steam and ash are creating it’s own weather there.

Opps! I didn’t realize there was another thread started. Oh well… I posted this on the thread of anniverseries:

Back to Eyjaf (can’t keep my eyes off of it, LOL), I have noticed that water is emerging from the bottom of the what I would call the “silt, ash, glob, pond. I have seen this happen on a huge mound of what you would call a hill and the top was very dry, but where the river was, water was just streaming out from under this pile of rock, gravel, and dirt. It was a sight to see that as I had no idea water would flood out from under a hill!

So any comments on that and the increase in tremor would be welcome. I do have a bit of a problem when I go to a site that is posted as a Google translation. Nothing comes up. Is there a way I can do something about that?

Anna, I figured it would be some geologists and others that were checking on the flood there. I didn’t see the cars, but I know it is a major flood of not only water, but a lot of mud and a lot of the water is seeping out under the mud.

It would not be an area anyone would want to be in! Thanks for clarifying the issue of jeeps there.

I did see a large movement on the cam just below that ice about half way down and I figured there was a good sized flow coming. I will have to get back to the cam…if I can see anything.

regarding the cars: yes it would be really stupid to drive a “car” up the Þorsmórk valley! But the vehicles in the image are more likely so called super-jeeps which can not only be used do drive across glaciers but also through rivers. The lack of bridges in the highland of iceland makes it necessary to customize 4WD vehicles to be able to use them, this is a typical vehicle of the Icelandic Björgungsarveit.

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_CeTKUI7gs3E/S92y7ludGKI/AAAAAAAAQ6M/u60hv5nWLGw/s800/DSC_9309.JPG

take note of the big tires, the custom suspension, the snorkel and the number of antennas for CB and satellite telephone.

During summertime a scheduled bus drives that road (albeit it is a 4WD bus on a truck chassis).

If you ever visit this area make sure to see the photo-album in the Langidalur hut where they keep a diary of all the cars, trucks and busses that didn’t make it through the Krossa river and had to be rescued.

Somebody said that the glacier tongue is about 180 meters wide; using that as a measure stick, the bisected “stone” is about 250 meters high, and the exit hole sixty meters in diameter. Very inaccurate measuring, so if you use yards where I used meters, the numbers are well within the error in measuring.

Big, eh?
#36 Scott, sg
May 2, 2010

Ok, so magic jeeps…doesn’t change anything. Over the years I have seen bigger vehicles including trucks washed away in flash floods. 45cm – 18″ of fast flowing water on gravel has killed plenty of people – and obviously will kill plenty more.

Technically the wheels get washed out on the upstream side and they end up tipping over.

Actually you just need to watch those – worlds most amazing idiots being rescued tv shows to see examples. In my case I grew up between Australia and UK, and every time there was flooding or risks, and the warnings go out…don’t try and drive through flood waters…

Well a few days later you end up recovering the bodies. A landcruiser troop carrier – no problem got the snorkel mate – 3 days later as part of SES we had to recover the bodies of 2 adults and 2 children in North Queensland. It happens every time.

When I was a boy at Holy Island in the UK, there used to be all bodies of wrecked cars where people thought they could beat the tide across the causeway… These days they at least recover the cars and remove the eyesore. The list goes on…

So after being there and seeing it on numerous occasions. I can think of no sensible reason to be driving out there. Even for a science team I would imagine a chopper would be the sensible option.

Could be just me though and maybe somehow driving in super jeeps across meltwater on volcanic gravel under a melting glacier is somehow ok.

Once the glacier is gone it will be easy to see how Eyjafjalla split apart at some indeterminate point in time and how little mountain there is where the split occurred.

Zander #27 are you referring to the dark blob thing on the ice? I am thinking that may be a hole now instead of a rock, but it is hard to tell. There is steam coming from it now so anybodies is as good as mine. I have been watching that “blob” for a while and it has moved from the right on that ice to the left and now it seems to have moved down a bit. If it is a rock, look for it to fall sometime. The ice, too, for that matter.

#36: It is OK, for certain values of OK. You need at least two well-built tall jeeps, two drivers with years or decades of experience and good comms and self-rescue gear to be at least reasonably OK down there.

There’s plenty of old jeepers, lots of bold jeepers, but very very few old, bold jeepers.

That circular patterned rock face couldn’t be some ancient lava tube, could it? It seems as if Gígjökull is a caused more by a collapsed lava tube than the end product of glacial erosion.

@ Dagur: I absolutely love the smoke ring, Eyjaf is sure full of surprises!

@ scott: I understand your reservations from the experiences you listed, but in Iceland people are doing it all the time. If you want to go to Thorsmörk you actually have to drive that road (you actually can take the bus!) and ford some rivers. I think it is mostly tourists with lesser cars and even less experience that become stuck in the rivers, but sometimes it happens also with bigger vehicles with experienced drives sometimes:

I have no problem with the jeeps, only driving them downstream of fast melting glacier which could create a surge at anytime.

Afterall isn’t that what all of us around the world are sitting watching and waiting for…even me in Singapore where there is absolutely no chance of snow!

Re. The water – and lack of it. Didn’t the Iceland met report say that the lead steam plume is actually hot water, and the second is from the lava flow?

Which would mean there is still a lot of water to come down.

And the other thing that confused me, was “30m from the crater lip”. Can’t remember the exact wording, but the other week I think they said 200m. So the level of lava has risen?

Although I might have mistaken that.

I’m seeing a lot of change, taking place quite fast, in the snout of the glacier; steaming holes, cracks, and melted recent snow cover. It wouldn’t surprise me to see a significant collapse there in the not too distant future, and possibly even incandescence in the next 24 hours. Remember steam rises, and has to find a way uphill and upstream to an exit, so there may be hot rock further down under the ice than is evident from the surface…

From what we’ve seen earlier this morning, the lava flow doesn’t clearly show. But the stream looks pretty muddy and the clouds – o the clouds! – they don’t let us see the huge amount of steam produced. Or, as someone said, the volcano is producing it’s own weather system.

I have a question for boris or erik or anyone who can answer this in a bit more than laymans terms. The glacier and volcano at Eyjaf is of course stunning, but i am interested in the flanks and how abrupt they are from the grade of the surrounding land.

Is this the way that this weathered out, harder rock just surviving the weathering or is there something unique to this because the sides are incredibly abrupt. If weathering has/had occurred wouldnt it have gotten most of it, or is it that the rock is so much more dense? I see this all over Iceland with so many sheer cliffs around their volcanoes.

Góðan daginn!

In the middle of exciting events I’m disturbing you with amateur questions.

I read that last time Hekla erupted, they were able to tell in six o’clock news that it will erupt in 20 minutes. And it did erupt after 20 minutes.

I’ve been wondering how did the volcanologists know that? There must be something else than watching tremours and earthquakes?

Another question, do Icelandic volcanoes ever create violent pyroclastic flows? The flows of hot gas are devastating. Laki killed nearly a quarter of the island’s population but that was mostly because of volcanic ash? What if Katla would erupt soon, could there be fatal pyroclastic flows? Just wondering how far would a big eruption reach in the first hand, made some friends during my last Iceland trip and they don’t live far away from Katla.

Thank you for this blog, I’m passionate about nature and volcanoes and have read this blog every day during last months. Especially after my second Iceland-trip – planned for last month – was “ashed” this blog has given me great relief

Does anyone have a clue about the type of lava flow that is issuing from the crater now?

Is it the same type (ropy lava to aa-type) as Fimmvörduhals, or is it a kind of blocky-lava/coulée-like viscous lava flow?

Could that thing collapse down Gigsjokull valley and give off block-and-ash flows, like at Arenal?

And is it possible that the lava flow interacting with the running water could cause phreatic activity, again like Fimmvorduhals?

@ Essi 68: Hekla is normally aseismic; they have enough history to be fairly sure about that. Unlike Eyjafjallajökull, you never see months or weeks of tremor prior to a Hekla eruption; once the tremors start at Hekla the eruption follows in an hour or two. Laki killed so many by starvation; the ass was fluorine rich, the food animals died of fluorosis, and the people died of starvation.

@ Volcanophile 70: There was little phreatic activity at Fimmvörðuháls, the eruption was predominantly effusive with lava fountaining. The strong phreatic activity was in the initial phase of the summit eruption of Eyjafjallajökull. But I too would be interested to know if there’s been any change in chemistry since the present phase began.
#76 GeorgeR

Jeepers the tremor chart has just gone insane. What’s up? Too bad it is all in fog. The amplitude of the tremors is the same as for the peak of the eruption; there is a whale of energy in there.

#85 Volcanophile
May 2, 2010

@Essi…

Icelandic volcanoes can and do produce pyroclastic flows, provided the eruption is explosive enough..

Hekla is an excellent candidate for that, since its eruptions usually start with a massive plinian phase involving large volumes of highly fractionated magma (in 1947, it erupted about .18 km3 of andesitic pumice in about 6 hours, with a discharge rate of 75000 m3/sec and a plume height of 30km…)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hekla#Initial_eruption

Should a column that big collapse, it’s more than enough to create pyroclastic flows on a massive scale….

About Katla…. It’s usually basaltic, but the eruptions are highly explosive because of the meltwater involved… it’s in fact a beefed-up version of what happened there at Eyjaf during 14-16 April…

This could also create pyroclastic flows, since laterally-directed blasts can happen, and “wet” eruptions columns rich in steam are more dense and more prone to collapse (base surge)

Something like that, happened it the Azores during a submarine eruption in Capelinhos volcano island…

http://www.vulcaodoscapelinhos.org/_images/fotoserupcao/29-09-1957.jpg

The base surge is the steam “ring” expanding horizontally above the water level. Although not a “real” Péléan pyroclastic flow, it has the same destructive potential…

Basaltic volcanoes are also capable of producing small-scale pyroclastic flows on their own, if the erupting magma is gas-rich enough and if the mass-eruption rate is high..

Something like that happened at Stromboli in 1930
http://www.photovolcanica.com/VolcanoInfo/Stromboli/Stromboli.html

and at LLaima in 2008

# 41: “There’s plenty of old jeepers, lots of bold jeepers, but very very few old, bold jeepers.”
The same was said about test pilots…..some truths are universal. It occurs to me, before appointing people to really sensitive jobs -like nuclear plant managers- we should let them try driving landrovers in this type of terrain.

Speaking of excessive boldness, a couple of weeks ago a Swedish tourist was killed by falling 150 m. into a crater in Indonesia, after going too near the edge. I do not know any details of the incident, but if the tourist was used to our 2-billion-year old Swedish granite he might have overestimated the strength of the material he was stepping on.
What are the inner volcanic crater walls usually built of? Is it successive layers of lava and ash, or is it ash all the way, with just a smattering of lava blobs thrown in? I realise the ash and the lava ultimately are made from the same substance, but a wide chunk of lava that has slowly solidified must be way safer to step on than ash.

The link in #97 – go to it and there’s a plot of the tremor from the beginning of the current eruption – today. Very interesting to look at! It is perplexing that the eruption, which has gone on for 2½ weeks now, seems to be gaining in strength even if the amount of magma that makes it to the surface isn’t that much.

It’s getting pretty impressive now. Is this a camera-doesn’t-lie-but-it-does-fib moment when it looks more substantial than it is? But this doesn’t look like the normal night-time cloud of glowing steam to me – it looks far larger…

Could it be:

The lava flow has finally evaporated all the ice on top of it and is now illuminating the steam?

or

Current vent has expanded into view of the camera?

Or

A new vent has opened up?

or

Small pixies with brushes loaded with orange paint are vandelising the web cam?

Looked like the bright yellow glow was moving towards Thorolfsfelli camera. I was expecting to see the Icelandic answer to Niagara falls, but with molten lava.

However, it could be also a reflection of a new or enlarged vent in the steam clouds.

Hope that a Icelandic TV network dispatchs a camera team -HDTV would be icing on the cake- to Thorolfsfelli.

That glow on the http://eldgos.mila.is/eyjafjallajokull-fra-fimmvorduhalsi/ camera is slowly growing as we watch, and I’m seeing what appears to be occasional bursts or reflections of red from below some of the mid-glacier steam plumes. Is it a trick of the fading light, or actual lava flow?
#134 Woodson
May 2, 2010

Thats steam reflected glow of lava deeper in the crater. The positioning of the Porosfelli cam is such that it can not see the crater floor. The Mila cams have better low light sensitivity than the Vodafone ones (which dont see much right now). I think the reason it is brighter is that there is more lava flow in the crater and the area of glacial melt is much larger and has been progressively moving away from the vent towards the camera.

No worries about evacuation. Nobody lives downstream although they might need to breach Rt 1 again.

I’m not sure that this is just glow from the original crater, as that showed up much further to the right than this current event. It appeared very rapidly, over the course of about 10 – 15 minutes, and seems not to be moving downhill, although there are occasional glows left-and-down-a-bit (that’s technical language if ever I saw some!).

Before it got too dark, there seemed to be a dark inverted triangle (possibly a rock) just below the largest glowing area. It looked like the lava was flowing down to, and around the rock, emerging on the left hand side.

“Visual Witnesses who I spoke to a few minutes to consider the lava is starting to slide out the ice bar,” said Atli Olafsson policeman tracks in an interview with news newspaper, mbl.is. Red bjarmi seen by Gígjökul and is even believed that the lava is starting to run out there.

Significant force in the eruption and scientists believe that considering the status of the Mac years of steam rising from the lava as it meets the periphery of the ice has today been in the 850 meters at Gígjökli, about 3 km north of gigs. Gufumekkir from ice at the edge. 19:40 indicated that the lava even go beyond that rhymes with now seen lighting the twelfth time.

“The glacier, which flows from Gígjökli is boiling hot and steaming rýkur much of it,” said Atli Olafsson who was on patrol in the area earlier in the evening.

It is difficult to assess the lava flow of the glacier, according to earth scientists. Rough guess of the lava flow is 20 meters per second and is evaluated based on the length and width of the lava current Gígjökli in one hand and the flow of water, however.

Ash eruption is thought to be much lower, 10 to 20 tons per second. The explosive activity has also increased in recent days, but is uncertain whether the lava flow has increased. There is no evidence gosloka.

Melissa, I forgot to mention the name of the program was Naked Science, I think.

Jen, #159, the weird figures you see on the Hvol cam are due to the lights as Jon said. They are called “circles of confusion” in photography. I did some photog and I got some pretty weird figures that I processed. I did it on purpose, though some people get them and don’t know it until the film is develped. Digital cams have taken away a lot of that problem because you can see the pic on the screen before you take it. Makes for some interesting pic sometimes.

Interesting article: http://www.physorg.com/news191397828.html

Scientists find ancient asphalt domes off California coast

“They paved paradise and, it turns out, actually did put up a parking lot. A big one. Some 700 feet deep in the waters off California’s jewel of a coastal resort, Santa Barbara, sits a group of football-field-sized asphalt domes unlike any other underwater features known to exist.

About 35,000 years ago, a series of apparent undersea volcanoes deposited massive flows of petroleum 10 miles offshore. The deposits hardened into domes that were discovered recently by scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and UC Santa Barbara (UCSB).”
#168 Jón Frímann

@Diane, All that I know is that this means that the eruption is getting more powerful as the tremor increases. So far, this spike looks bad on my sensor, but it also appeared on IMO sensors and even better there then on my sensor.

The oil keeps changing where it is going, Winds, waves and tides have them guessing where it will go. Still nothing has worked to stop the leak.

The fact that 3 out of 5 EQ´s is at 17-18km depth can that be an indication of yet another magmachamber beeing restless? Or can it be the one feeding the volcano from the beginning?

And those 5 earthquakes run right down the glacier flow.
Could the change in the glacier’s weight have disrupted
some magma chamber below?
And i hate being right… remember when i said:
“When something happens at a volcano, that’s when You
can’t see it?”

i hope the weather clears soon.

I don’t think glacier melt can trigger EQs in such depths, max 0,5km, but perhaps this is also exaggarated.

For those interested the Channel 4 program ‘The Volcano that Stopped Britain’ is available on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHsHxPW_T9Q. For those in the know about volcano’s it is probably very simple stuff, but there are some very spectacular shots of the volcano erupting.

@motsfo (202) I get hints from my partner that he thinks I´m too interested (read: struck) in this volcano. I can´t help it, I just think it´s amazing.

He actually asked me yesterday after one day away if I had “Volcano abstinence” when I took the laptop with me in bed.

Now if some vulcanologist could give us a theory whats behind the tremors and what these EQ:s means. Is the plate separation going right through Eyjafjall? Is it therefore it´s so high, just next to the lowlands? (I have lived in the lowlands between Hvolsvellir and the sea, they are purely ashmade I think, no rocks or at least very few.

It is probably hard for anyone to guess the exact reason for those earthquake. But I guess it could be possible with some movement of magma on deep levels. We have to keep our eyes open for more of those deep EQ:s. I wonder if it is possible that a possible magma body at 15-20km could feed both Eyjafjallajökull and Katla? It is probably impossible to be sure on the answer to that question so I just post it as a reflection.

I would agree with post #210. It would be nice to have a proffessional point of view as to what these EQ´s could mean.

It has been upgraded to 8 events whereof 7 of them was at a depth of 14km or more. Seems something is stirring down there and if the depth is accurate wouldnt that mean that even a “small” 1.6-1.9 magnitude EQ would be quite large if it would occur closer to the surface? Or is the magnitude calculated in such a way that it is already compensated for depth and so on?

Looking through the Þórólfsfelli cam – I think Paolo may be right.

Icelandic Meteorological experts have recommended flow and take samples of Markarfljót of floods that regularly come before Gígjökli because melting water from the eruption in Eyjafjallajökull. Water Thermometer with Markarfljót old bridge and this morning the water temperature was measured to be about 17 ° C.
from this morning’s news, poor translation from net…
Much steam and ash Mocha is still evident in Eyjafjallajökull.

Gosórói rose yesterday. The increase may be due to the interaction of ice and lava Gígjökli or change in gosrás. No earthquakes measured by Eyjafell yesterday. There is no evidence gosloka.

Explosive eruption (ash production) but has increased in recent days and the flow of ash from the crater estimated at 10-20 tons / s. It is harder to assess changes in the lava flow and is therefore not known whether it has increased.

@Renato I Silveira [209]

“My question is: How deep is the magma chamber that’s supposed to feed both Eyjaf and Katla, if that should be the case?”

I’m not the expert you are seeking, however;

“After relocating the earthquakes, many of them form separate clusters, but the overall pattern forms a pipe-like structure extending from the crust-mantle boundary towards the surface below the northern edge of the ice cap. The aseismic gap in the “channel” between approximately 5 and 8 km depth indicates different rheological conditions of the rock.

Increased plasticity of the rock matrix could explain its less brittle behaviour and thus the seismic quiescence and hence we suggest that this is an indication of a magma storage and from there magma flowed southwards to form the intrusion in 1999 and that a similar process also occurred in 1994.”

From: “Seismic Signs of Magma Pathways through the Crust in the Eyjafjallajökull volcano, South Iceland” – Sigurlaug Hjaltadóttir, Kristín S. Vogfjörð, Ragnar Slunga

Of the last 8 seismic events, 7 of them were deep, averaging 15.9 km down. They are offset about 4km to the west and 7 km lower than the main clusters that led to the fissure eruption and the subsequent main caldera eruption we are peeking at on the cams. The “feed pipe” that led to the original main clusters started about 2 to 3 km above where these quakes occurred. “feed pipe” being my term and having no official standing, that’s just what it looks like on my 3D plot.

Any thoughts as to what this means from people who actually study this stuff?
#273 Kenneth

@snotra viking, #210: Eyjafjöll is yet not considered to be part of any of the riftzones in Iceland, but perhaps it will be in a “near” future as it seems to me that the eastern rift zone is propagating to the WSW. But on the other hand Eyjafjöll is one of the oldest active volcanoes in Iceland and as this eruption is not one of her(?) first ones it’s not very likely imho that this will be the one that split Eyjafjöll apart. Oh well in a couple of million years we’ll know for sure. I guess we all just have to stay tuned

My speculation about this drop in tremor activity (which is rising again as I’m writing, though) is that if it’s caused by its underlying magma chamber(s) being been almost fully filled, then tomorrow we should start seeing a marked inflation in GPS time series data, unless the volcano starts erupting explosively again.

@Renato I Silveira [270]

“…study them to have a “3d ” understanding of…”

I got severely frustrated at Excel as I was dropping the quake info spreadsheets. No 3D scatter chart of any usefulness. I remembered that Dplot had been used by Anthony Watts (WUWT) in some of his environment stuff so I picked up a version (very well priced). The cool part about it is that it integrates with Excel, and allows you to generate a 3D scatter plot with the click of a mouse (after you highlight the data). Once you have the plot, you can easily slew around to different viewing angles. I don’t recommend it unless you really like to get a spatial grasp on where stuff is located at. On top of the quake plots, I have an added (Lat Lon Height) plot of the volcanoes.

“…I’m worried from the fact that they keep connecting this eruption to Katla, when there’s no evidence that Katla will erupt in consequence of this one. Thought that these deep earthquakes could drop a light to it…”

From what I’ve seen most of the quakes are focused near the currently erupting caldera. Not much going on over at Katla. It’s almost boring other than the Helicorder data. In my opinion, that’s the best measure of what this eruption is up to.

The Markarfljót level is stable at about 660, the salinity is going down and the water temperature is close to freezing point. Clearly, the meltwater now travels most of the way down in contact with the glacier, melting what it can until there is no heat left to exchange, and emerges at about freezing temperature. The conductivity going down shows that the ash-contaminated water is diluted quite a bit.

I see Ireland has re-imposed flight restrictions, at least from 0600 to 1200 Tuesday:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8658738.stm

Apparently overflights aren’t affected, only flights to/from Ireland. Not sure about the reasoning behind that — maybe a safewty decision compromised by politics? Or do they only expect (or pretend to expect) ash at lower altitudes?

Raging Bee (#314). Here’s the ash forecast:

http://metoffice.com/aviation/vaac/data/VAG_1272886826.png

The ash plume from Eyjafjallajökull is nothing like it was in the beginning, in fact I think the ash emission is only about 1/10 or 1/20 of what it was when they basically shut down the European airspace. And the ash doesn’t shoot up to these jet stream altitudes either.

But the ash plume has been more concentrated in the past 1 or 2 days or so and the wind has been consistently blowing in a south-east direction. Scotland and Ireland aren’t that far away from Iceland (as you can see on the map) and it’s been clear for a couple of days now that they might get affected.

I have just seen the latest news re an ash cloud meaning that flights are being cancelled over Ireland tomorrow.
telegraph.co.uk/travel/travelnews/7674704/Volcanic-ash-cloud-shuts-down-Irish-airspace.html
New ash cloud threatens flights
Flights in Ireland may have to be cancelled on Tuesday as a result of a thick cloud of volcanic ash drifting from Iceland.
Irish air traffic controllers warned that they may have to declare a no-fly zone, posing a threat to services from Dublin and Shannon as the plume drifts across the Atlantic from Iceland
“We think there may be disruption above Scottish air space, we are waiting to hear what the Met Office tells us,” a NATS spokesman said.

#334 Daniel

All EQ´s are at 15-18km depth. Most are 99% verified.

Something is happening and I think we will see a very dramatic development within short.

Any vulcanologist or geologist here who has a theory of what might be going on down there?

As a layman it seems that the main feeding magma chamber is acting up. Question is..Is this magma chamber connected with the same feed Katla has? Would be interesting to see someone who actually has the knowledge commenting on this.

Looking at the coordinates of the EQ´s it seems to go on a north south line. Would this indicate a large magma chamber or just a north south intrusion?

11 EQ´s today. All at 15-18km depth. All at (roughly) the same coordinates. All has similar magnitude.

My guess is that the geologists on Iceland wont get much sleep in the next few days.

Alot of questions i know. Sorry but i am fascianted and curious as to what this would mean.

@Daniel #332

fire away, it’s how most of us here learn! If you are lucky one of the pro’s will respond.

re something dramatic happening, I don’t think so. At least not more dramatic than has already happened.

Remember, the crust here is not all that thick. It is much thicker under Vatnajökull (40 km from memory) and thinning out to about 30 under Katla and 20 to 25 under Eyjafjallajökull, so these quakes are pretty close to the mantle/crust boundary. Secondly, there is a region of transition at about 12 to 14 km where the crust becomes progressively more ductile due to pressure and heat and not as brittle (a geologist once described it to me as silly putty, you know that stuff kids play with – it will stretch to a certain extent but beyond a certain point it will snap). To make it snap you need tension, either shifting faults or, as in this case, the intrusion of magma.

Thirdly, this activity is massively below the level of activity that was going on prior to the eruption, mostly due to the fact that the conduit is now open to the surface, so rising magma no longer has to break its way to the surface. That said, I don’t think these few quakes indicate a significant change in the nature of the eruption. I would guess an elevated level of activity in the coming hours.

Fourthly, if the magma is indeed coming from a deep source, it is most likely of a similar basaltic non-explosive composition to that we saw at Fimmvordulhalsi and not the explosive andesite we saw in the first days from the crater, which was most likely residue from a shallow magma chamber, i.e. we are most likely to see more lava fountaining.

Fifthly, is the disclaimer.. you never know with these things!!! There is an outside chance that evolved magma (i.e. more silicic (explosive) is rising from depth, though I must admit my ignorance on the feasibility of evolved magmas at this depth in Iceland.. I know they can arise in other settings, just not sure about here) or that a new conduit is opening that taps into a shallow more felsic magma chamber that has so far not been affected by the current eruption – this could then open a new vent and we would have a rerun of what we witnessed over the last couple of weeks.. but we are really in the land of conjecture here. My best guess is business as usual with perhaps elevated eruption volume in the next day or so.

What to do if im so ugly?( Im a guy) I see no happiness in life &being depressed.? not gona show pics cos im tht ugly but ya title pretty much says it all…my mom says im ugly after i piss her off and we fight and she gets mad…my sis says im ugly after i called her a fat *** ugly piece of ****…and only 2 other girls have called me ugly and its after i treated them like crap. but then again, i have facebook pics, and i go out in real life and no one says im handsome, or ugly either. i have 1 friend who always makes fun of me and calls me names and jokes but i think its cos hes insecure. so idkkk what to do. im overly obsessed with myself i always look in the mirror. i have acne all over my face however i know how to cover it up well i also feel like my ears are sticking out altho i dont rly have big ears i like covering it up with a hood or somethin…i feel like my lips arent even proportional and when i talk they move sideways…i think i jus plain look ugly. no girls really go after me there have been girls talking to me before in the past and people have rarely given me hints but i neither get called ugly or attractive and i look really really bad in pictures from my standpoint. also, when i go to the mall or vegas or wherever i feel like the ugliest guy there. looks are really big to me as i have no personality whatsoever. i am mean to alot of people and im judemental and its hard for me to be nice…i just cant control it. so yeah, from this description, any ideas?

Please help me from Acne? I have started getting pimple at my age of 14 (year 1996). Then it was not that much for me to worried about. So I used to squeez/pinch my acne. Around a 1.5 years back I went to doctor to get the treatment for reducing dark spots (That time there were few dark spots). Then doctor gave me some medicine, I found the dark spots are going away. My face was almost getting clean. In my next appointment, doctor just changed the medicine. Then suddenly I have started getting big big acnes (Like boils). Then doctor tried their best but no result. Then i moved to homeopathic (Dr. Batrs), then Dr. overthere told me it will take sometime, but we will clean your face. Then i have started treatment with Dr. Batras. But after starting treatment overthere I found my face is becoming black and black day by day. Still I am getting more than 5-6 acnes everyday. Please suggest me what I will do to get rid of acne. I mean, I cannot express my emotions, I cannot able to show my face to everyone while talking I mean I used to hesitate to talk with people.
