Recent update on the emissions/ashes.


BTW, I have three volcanologists in the guesthouse now, one Englishman, one Italian, and one French. They are doing some analysis of the components in the gas emissions through some spectral devices. Interesting....

Here is the view from where I live. It is a webcam, and the position is about half a mile away:

Enjoy, - the sooner the better. This is now amazingly big, some 20K column, and some folks are getting hit by the ashes very badly.

LOL, thought you were starting a joke for a min there Angus.  So these 3 volcanologists walk into a guesthouse, an Engli.....  :lol


Webcam is cool.  Thanks for posting.

It's hard to believe just how big that cloud really is.  :O


This view has live infrared.

Look at this one :


And here is a link to a good blog-page. It is in Icelandic, but has some very good pictures.
http://omarragnarsson.blog.is/blog/omarragnarsson/

This aircraft has been residing on my field, and as can well be seen, we finally had ashfall.
It is a disgusting type of ash, acid, salty, and fine like cement powder. In the case of this aircraft, the pilot was lucky, - the ash fell while it was raining, and we just washed it off the plane.
He sticks around and does volcano round-flying for camera work as well as hopping around with volcanologists and such. I may be going today or tomorrow to have a close look.
If some of you have a good hosting ability, I can soon send some pictures that can be posted. Some of the images are awesome, especially if one has an understanding of the proportions.

It does.
I am actually eating calcium and drinking more water than I'd normally do, my daughters are drinking a lot of milk, and then, same will be with my wife.
Anyway, in dark hours, - our island is a cool place because of wild things such as volcanic eruptions. I do miss the non-erupting periods by now, as are described in this link, - oh yes, Aragorn has been around here a few times, really under my nose. Quite a cool person I hear.

News update:
The eruption has stopped. For now that is. I hope I can fly over tomorrow to have a look, - we will see.
