Rumblings from Katla (another Icelandic volcano!)

[GloriaSmud]

Blog here.

You can tell DH is not here tonight, I'm glues to the Katla cam.

Looks like another area of potential geothermal activity on the camera, more quakes too.

One of the posters on the blog mentions that the quakes north of Katla sometimes happen just before Hekla erupts. Hope that both don't go together!

Still keeping an eye on this!
Someone on the Icelandic volcano blog posted this today.
They're also keeping an eye on Hekla as well, where there have been 2 quakes over the last 2 days (normally there aren't any, except for just before an eruption.)

Looking at Etna again, spectacular tonight on the webcams.

Yes, ther have been earthquak swarms there this last week or two. Not sure where that is heading though.

Some Etna webcams here and it looks amazing, even in the dark!

oooo looks like the sE crater. How fantastic!!

It has been getting ready to do some decent stuff for months

Thanks for those wonderful clips from Etna,i dont follow Volcanos or anything but i do love looking at them,i have always loved watching the lava rolling down.I dont wish anyone to be harmed from them ,but i think they are spectacular.

mummylin, the SE crater is a decent way from houses and the type of eruption means we can pretty much enjoy it without worry or guilt.

very cool pictures taken recently. Just to think that when we were there earlier this year (right there!!) we could walk on fresh lava flow.

Wonderful pictures.I cant imagine actually being there to witness something so fabulous. I like all the freaky kinds of nature such as masive hail storms ,tornados and such like,i very often watch the storm chasers in the USA. Anyway thanks for the pics ,i will leave you to converse with people who actually know what they are talking about,i expect i will be chatting to you in a few months when i am distraught that my town may miss out on the snow !!

mummylin - you are always very welcome here. We arent an exclusive club by any means, we are all learning as we go (me especially!) I like freaky nature too :0

doh that was supposed to be a :)

mummylin, I'm no expert, and I have loads to learn!

I usually get loads of stuff wrong. I just love nature in all it's glory. I find it fascinating!

Please stay, everyone is welcome!

Very nice of you both but i really dont know a thing about volcanos etc ,just that i like looking at them ! In fact i dont know anything much about any kind of meteorological things !! But i may pop in now and then to see if you have posted anymore great pics.

Some great photos of Mount Etna here.
(Apologies for the DailyWail link!)

Those pictures are spectacular.

Etna is really active at the moment.

wow!!! (books flight to catania!) (I reallyreallyreally wish I could, that would be so ace!!!!)

This one's still rumbling!
Blog posts from the last few days. Scroll down for a post about increased activity in the last year.
All good reading material and some of the people who respond have interesting posts too.

cool! (in a slightly scary sort of way)

Erm, things seem to have kicked off a bit in the last few hours!

Just a reminder of the webcam, just in case!

ooo - quite a little swarm there!
