Volcanic Iceland: Earthquake with magnitude M 5,2 in Þorbjörn mountain (Fagradalsfjall mountain)!!!p1492

I think you are correct..It seems this cam is pointing in a NW direction, directly at Bárðarbunga..
My guess would be that a plume might become visible above the middle of the glacial tounge..

From a cam view everything is like a perfect DOOM OFF

Geeezzzz but you don't see that eruption is still below the ice? I think it will break in the end of the day or tomorrow.

Now 842 geeeeeeeeze...

Yes, it looks quite like the radial fissure are ripping open.
I would also lik to point out that many earthquakes are not correctly places. Right now I would exclude all earthquakes below M2 from plots since it seems to be the point where IMO manually corrects them now.

The mountains in the center of the Jökulsárlón webcan are Esjufjöll and direction to Kverfjöll is over east part (right hand) of Esjufjöll and direction to Barðarbunga is left hand side of Esjufjöll:

Holy carp!

Yeah I'd say it's a safe bet the bastard is erupting.

That's about the ugliest swarm I've seen in realtime ever.

me too...

Watching MODIS with anticipation.. could take days like you said or maybe something unexpected will happen. No surface heat yet but then again it has a pretty slow refresh rate.

What does one do to check on a volcano like this? Helicopter?

Wow !!!!! 5 stars
never seen that many earthquakes

This is the kinda doom I like. Real results!



I just hope we start seeing numbers. All this doom-mania on GLP and then the pathetic cowards tuck their tails when it really goes down (Katrina anyone?) makes me loath and anguish against fellow GLP'ers.

But I know in time...cause and effect and the law of attraction...it'll come eventually.

If the link works, you may see how the May 2011 eruption evolved.

Iceland authorities are doing all surveys. They are one of the best!

I'm quite worried as to how a glacial flood to the north would play out..We've never seen that happen here in Iceland.

Here's a video of the 1996 Grímsvötn eruption (in german ). But the images speak for themselves..



Can you imagine the havoc an even bigger eruption in Bárðarbunga would cause sending a flood down this narrow river? [link to www.ismennt.is]

wonder how long until it breaches the ice, if it will.

We need some real results!

UPDATE 6 – Seems currently 11:52 two (fissures) areas 10 km long, 3-4 km wide are active at present time (11:52) – one East and one North East of Bárðarbunga. One appears outsite of glacers edge (and no eruption visible, and skies are mostly clear over Ieland) but the other area under thick glacier. In my opinion thikish type magma is on the move, trying filling cracks as it pushes upwards. Yesterdays activity was mostly at 10 km depth, but I have not heard the current (focal) depth. This is IMO quake map data. [link to i58.tinypic.com]

And five stars. Thank you, Luis!

luis is mister 5 stars!

I'm late to this thread, What are the implications of this particular volcano when it erupts?

This is not doom.
