Icelandic Volcano Appears on Verge of a Far More Powerful Eruption than Last Year
0 comments Posted by queen at 7:21 AMBárdarbunga dwarves the Eyjafjallajökull volcano,
which shut-down most of Europe's airspace in May 2010
Local experts have observed all the signs that another -much larger- Icelandic volcano is ready to blow, an event that could dwarf last year's series of eruptions that shut down air travel throughout Europe and changed weather patterns for months...
Geologists detected the high risk of a new eruption after evaluating an increased swarm of earthquakes around the island's second largest volcano.
Pall Einarsson, a professor of geophysics at the University of Iceland, says the area around Bárdarbunga is showing signs of increased activity, which provides "good reason to worry".
He told the country's national TV station that a low number of seismometer measuring devices in the area is making it more difficult to determine the scale and likely outcome of the current shifts. But he said there was "every reason to worry" as the sustained earthquake tremors to the north east of the remote volcano range are the strongest recorded in recent times and there was "no doubt" the lava was rising.
The geologist complained that the lack of coverage from measuring devices means he cannot accurately detect the depth and exact location of the increased number of localised earth movements.
.......
The last recorded eruption of Bárdarbunga was in 1910, although volcanologists believe its last major eruption occurred in 1477 when it produced a large ash and pumice fallout. It also produced the largest known lava flow during the past 10,000 years on earth.
It is the second largest volcano on Iceland and is directly above the mantle plume of molten rock.
By comparison, Bárdarbunga dwarves the Eyjafjallajökull volcano, which shutdown most of Europe's airspace last year after its ash cloud drifted across the continent's skies...

Iceland Volcano May 26: German Airport Closures, UK Airport Closures
0 comments Posted by queen at 10:00 PM
The volcano eruption in Iceland has lessened much since last midweek, and now emits primarily steam... the Icelandic Met Office offers this update:
Measurements with a heat camera made from an aircraft gave just under 100°C as the highest temperatures at the crater. The crater could not be observed, due to steam rising from it. No signs of extrusion of magma could be seen. Volcanic tremor is still decreasing and is approaching the level it had before the eruption.
Today, the eruption seems to be dormant. There is still a considerable amount of steam coming from the crater, but no ash can be seen in it. Details in a status report issued collectively by the Icelandic Meteorological Office and the Institute of Earth Sciences...
UK air travel officials re-opened UK airports a week ago today, as was the case in Germany- they have remained open since. The very latest in UK airport closures re. Iceland Volcano May 26 are updated in real-time -here- But be sure to check with your airline directly before travelling.
This is the daily RR update for Iceland Volcano May 26: UK air travel is not likely to be restrained by closed airports at this time by the Iceland volcano, with the residual plume headed due south and well short of any coastline. Although it could resume erupting at almost any moment, the volcano is only releasing steam and some gasses at this time.
The UK's air traffic control service NATS will announce airspace restrictions as they became necessary, and the link provided below will keep you posted on the latest effects from the Iceland volcano eruption.
German air travel was closed at a Frankfurt, Munich, and other southern airports last Sunday through Monday afternoon, but since have remained open- the latest on German airport closures re.Iceland Volcano May 26: available -here-
The Iceland volcano May 26 map is updated regularly at the UK Met Office -here- and Iceland volcano May 26 status at the Icelandic Met Office -here- ... Volcanic Ash Advisory updates available -here-

This is the daily RR update for Iceland Volcano May 25: UK air travel is not likely to be restrained by closed airports at this time by the Iceland volcano, with the residual plume headed due south and well short of any coastline. The plume was peaking at an altitude of 5-7 km, but since last Wednesday reduced to 3-4 km and falling.
