The Volcano again ( Archived) (14)

At the risk of being boring I´d like you to take a look at this link



It is from the eruption here in Iceland and it was taken last night. It will show you an eruption changing from ash-eruption to lava. The explosions trow glowing lava into the air and most of the glowing pieces you see waigh just about 2000 pounds and they are thrown 3-400 ft. up into the air.

If you compair the size of the glowing pieces to the smoke behind it gives you some idea about the size of all of this. Yesterday the weather was fine and NASA has some great satelite footich from the ash-cloude stretching due south from the coast.

It looks as if the problem with ashes in the air is in reduction giving hope of lesser problems with disturbencies to flights in USA and Europe. Let us hope that will come thru.

If you want to see it click on "Horfa á myndskeið." on the page.

Thats very frightening. I hope you are all safe there.

Quite remarkable footage, thank you.

THX. It is difficult to imagine how big this thing really is.

The danger is mostly the ashes. The actual place is at a distance from populated area so there is no imminent danger to people nor animals.

Thats good to hear.

Keep safe, all of you up there..

What makes me laugh are the idiots who "think" the volcano "isn't fair", that it's somehow "wrong" and "interfering with our lives". They're as dumb as CNN's idiot Mark Sanchez who was "surprised" that volcano would happen in a "cold country".

What's next, these idiots are going to call the volcano a terra-rist act?

its RICK sanchez

how is he an idiot because he was honest and comfortable in the fact that he doesnt know everything? to me that makes a good journalist.

i thought the same thing and im sure many did-

we arent all geologists

Unfortunately it is understandable that people feel frustrated when a "rock in the middle of nowhere" effects their possibilities to travel from one place to another. Especially when the visual effects are very hard to find with the naked eye. Even impossibly so.

The fact that this eruption has made such an impact on peoples lives is a great matter of concern since this eruption is considered a "small" one. What if there is a "big" one as there are many such known in modern times and these happen with a fair amount of regularity.

The airliners are fighting the losses due to a few days and weeks of disruptions. What if there are no flights for months ?

This is really a thing to wonder about and how on earth we can prepair for such an eventual event. Is there an option to rebuild all engines in the fleet of airplanes world over. I can´t see that happen but then what do I know.

i thought i recognized that sc as a christain who one would expect to be walking in love
