TUESDAY
They say Iceland is calming down as far as that volcano goes – but there was 5.7 quake there today.
- CBS video – Iceland prepares for “volcano from hell”
- Weather Channel video – Iceland Volcano Bardarbunga Hit By Strongest Earthquake Since Eruption Fears Began
LATER – BBC: Iceland volcano: Magma moving towards new volcanic system
The magma from Iceland’s Bardarbunga volcano could be moving towards another large volcanic system.
Data recorded by a team from the University of Cambridge suggests that 50 million cubic metres of molten rock has moved in the last 24 hours.
If it continues on a northern trajectory it could feed into the Askja volcanic system, potentially triggering a large eruption. . . .
They seem to be doing some work at Lake FUBAR making the usual machine noises on the helicorders. So wait til quittin’ time to see what is really happening.
WEDNESDAY
Iceland calm down story has evaporated.
Reblogged this on Nature Runs Amok at Yellowstone and commented:
This area may affect Yellowstone monitors ….
According to IMO (Iceland Meteorological Office) http://en.vedur.is/earthquakes-and-volcanism/articles/nr/2947
a fissure eruption has started north of Dynjuhokull. You can navigate relevant tabs at above to get updates/news etc
Status of Bardarbunga changed to red to reflect eruption.
Dynjuhokull should have been Dynjujokull
Bonus – it mase sinkholes too.
Got it added already….
Should we bomb Iceland’s Bárðarbunga volcano?
Excerpt:
Aerial bombing of Hawaii’s Mauna Loa volcano was done in the past, widening the eruption crater to minimize high flying volcanic ash problems.
I didn’t know they did that.
Sounds like a Superman episode!
It’s nighttime over there right now. I can only see 2 glowing dots. I’ll see how things look during the day tomorrow.

I just checked the CAM at 1020 late morning, Saturday. Cloudy sky. Dusk was approaching. Ground was level. Some smoke off to the right.
This second CAM looks similar to the first CAM I posted above, but this CAM rotates.

I’m pretty sure sulfur mixed with moisture reflects the sunlight. This will cool the earth if the sulfur-moisture mixture is large enough. This is what lead to the year-without-a-summer in 1816.

Chemical Fact Sheets — Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
Excerpt:
Sulfur dioxide dissolves easily in water to form sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is a major component of acid rain. Acid rain can damage forests and crops, change the acidity of soils, and make lakes and streams acidic and unsuitable for fish. Sulfur dioxide also contributes to the decay of building materials and paints, including monuments and statues… Most SO2 exposures are caused by people breathing contaminated outdoor air. Therefore, limit your activities outdoors when you know that air pollution levels are high.

Both versions of “comments” went to SPAM bin.
I don’t know why! You didn’t even have a url in there.
