Rumblings from another Icelandic volcano

[GloriaSmud]

and it's a big 'un!
This time at Bárðarbunga, with over 200 earthquakes recorded so far and last night, the Icelandic Met Office raised the aviation colour code to yellow to reflect the unrest that's going on.

Miranda. Anything from stopping right now to potentially 2 or 3 years.... maybe even longer!

Could be weeks, months, years.

As the others have said. No one has a clue.
latest scenario thoughts

Nannynick - it means the crack is getting wider.

Bárðarbunga news in English here, includes photos taken yesterday of possibly new cracks in the ice.

@gisli on twitter reckons they might have found schroedingers volcano, says will know in next few hours.

Sorry @gislio
Chap on twitter who knows what he is talking about

Is that like the cat who doesn't know if it's dead or alive?

Yes, cat in a box and it is both alive and dead at the same time

A new fissure eruption has started here

Pretty!

Apparently the lava samples indicate it is fresh lava from a sub-crustal source. Does this mean its from the mantle rather than Bárðarbunga?

info on lava composition

Looks like they think it's from one of the volcanoes but they don't know which one. High content of sulphur but it stayed mostly locked up in the rock.

Not sure if this 3D model from the IMO has been linked to yet. I can't see a link for it.

It was posted somewhere yesterday Rafa, its the one that wont work on my ipad. Cant get it to work on my pc either :(

Apparently the aviation code is back at red. Unfortunately all of the icelandic links seem to be going down for me I presume due to overload?

If you are on fb, there is a video of todays eruption here

Ah OYBBK you beat me to it, was just about to post a link to that video.

On Youtube LiveStream you can see it at about 2.5 hours ago (scroll back the video), so around 7am UK time.

i think we will all be repeating each others links - its so exciting! Apparently the fissure has grown a little in length to 1.5km.

That's excellent, Rafa! It shows how everything's moved over time and all the EQ's that have happened around the edge of the caldera as well.

Can't see much on the webcams at the moment ~ I think the stormy weather forecast for Iceland has arrived. The Bárðarbunga 2 camera is really being hit by the high winds.

Looking at 3dBulge at quakes 2.0+ North East of the Black Spot (is that a lake? Is it Lake Askja?) there is a cluster of quakes typically 1km-10km. Could that be another fissure starting?

ooo earthquake vis working for me know. Very cool!

I think it's a different link to the one that won't work on your ipad, OYBBK. You might have 2 that don't work now.

Can't get the webcam to work this morning. Keep getting 'server not found' messages.

Rafa!

eruption 10-20 times bigger than Friday nights.

Still images look pretty spectacular. Still quite a small eruption over all though. It's the kind of level that is nice - no danger for anyone but pretty.

One of the camera feeds on to youtube is still up. Sadly though the weather is so bad you can't see anything.

Ooo, it made a proper embedded thingy. Unexpected.

On the subject of volcano pictures, there's some stunning pictures of the Mt Tavurvur eruption on Friday.

This one is my favourite but there's a few videos showing the lava too.

Hopefully the ash hasn't caused too much damage and the locals can get back to normal as soon as possible.
