Van de zomer heb ik nog op die fimmvorduhals pas rondgelopen, toen was het er een stukje rustiger...
En de sneeuw is inmiddels misschien wel aan het wegsmelten

ICELAND - Eyjafjallajökull volcano

April 5th, 2010

As of the 5th of April, the eruption continued with little changes. On April 4th, lava flowing to the west encountered some patches of glacial ice, causing some water discharge into river Hvanná, steam plumes and low frequency tremor bursts. NASA satellite image shows the eruption on April 4, 2010. The original fissure—originally about 1,000 meters (3,000 feet) long and composed of several distinct vents—has coalesced into a single vent. The new fissure is hidden under a volcanic plume, likely composed primarily of steam. Black lava flows reach several kilometers north from the vents, eventually spilling into Hvannárgil and Hrunagil Canyons As of the 2nd of April, a report in Morgunblaðið puts the length of the new fissure at 300 metres, and its location as 200 metres north of the initial location of the eruption, while RÚV reports the length as 300-400 metres. The new fissure trends north-south, roughly at right angles to the east-west alignment of the first fissure. The Icelandic Met Office have published an article looking at what the patterns of seismicity at Eyjafjallajökull reveal about the path of the magma over the period from the 13th-24th of March: "The magma path revealed". It seems that the main feeder conduit for the eruption is situated beneath the eastern part of the Eyjafjallajökull ice-cap and rises nearly vertically to around 2-3 km depth, and then changes direction to run horizontally eastwards for about 4.5 km to the point outside the ice margin where the eruption began on the 21st of March.

ICELAND - Eyjafjallajökull volcano ( Fimmvörduhals)

April 9th, 2010

As of the 8th of April, there is significant activity in the new volcanic crater on mountain pass while the original crater has ceased spurting lava-for now, at least. However, the lava still seethes in the older crater. A broad lava stream now extends to the west of the Hvannárgil canyon and flows one or two kilometers per hour. Blue volcanic fumes extend from the older crater but there are no explosions. That is an indication that the crater was cooling down. Aerial pictures showed that there was still a seething lava pool within the closed crater. There is quite a lively activity in the new crater and a lot of lava that flows from it. There are no indications for the moment that the eruption is about to stop. As of the 7th of April, news reported that there haven't been any changes to the nature of the eruption. The Civil Protection Department emphasized yesterday that all traffic on Eyjafjallajökull is prohibited and the area in a one-kilometer radius around the crater on Fimmvörduháls is closed. As of the 5th of April, the eruption continued with little changes. On April 4th, lava flowing to the west encountered some patches of glacial ice, causing some water discharge into river Hvanná, steam plumes and low frequency tremor bursts. NASA satellite image shows the eruption on April 4, 2010. The original fissure—originally about 1,000 meters (3,000 feet) long and composed of several distinct vents—has coalesced into a single vent. The new fissure is hidden under a volcanic plume, likely composed primarily of steam. Black lava flows reach several kilometers north from the vents, eventually spilling into Hvannárgil and Hrunagil Canyons As of the 2nd of April, a report in Morgunblaðið puts the length of the new fissure at 300 metres, and its location as 200 metres north of the initial location of the eruption, while RÚV reports the length as 300-400 metres. The new fissure trends north-south, roughly at right angles to the east-west alignment of the first fissure. The Icelandic Met Office have published an article looking at what the patterns of seismicity at Eyjafjallajökull reveal about the path of the magma over the period from the 13th-24th of March: "The magma path revealed". It seems that the main feeder conduit for the eruption is situated beneath the eastern part of the Eyjafjallajökull ice-cap and rises nearly vertically to around 2-3 km depth, and then changes direction to run horizontally eastwards for about 4.5 km to the point outside the ice margin where the eruption began on the 21st of March. Police estimate that up to one thousand people went to the eruptions site at Fimmvörduháls after the place was opened up again Thursday afternoon. The eruption remained similar in strength as before. As of the 1st of April pilot reported that at just before seven P.M. on Wednesday 31st of March a new rift opened up. The split went south towards the other crater. The new rift is not in the same direction as the old one, this one goes from north to south. The new row of up to seven craters is closer to Thórsmörk and came up in the middle of the flowing lava forming the “lava fall” into Hvannárgi. After a new crater formed on Fimmvörduhals on Wednesday night, the site was closed to all traffic. This change was not accompanied by any detectable seismic activity, neither tremor nor micro earthquakes. Most of the lava seems to accumulate near the vents, but there are intermittent flows into the gullies of Hruná and Hvanná. As of the 30th, Volcanic activity at the crater increased yesterday afternoon 29th of March after having subsided the night before and yesterday morning. From a helicopter on 28 March, scientists saw lava flowing into both canyons and noted fewer jets of lava. Shortly after 6 pm last night a series of earthquakes measuring 2-2.5 on the Richter scale shook the region. Geophysicist Gunnar B. Gudmundsson at the Icelandic Meteorological Office noted that seismicity was gradually decreasing and was an indication of the force of the eruption is gradually decreasing. He added that GPS monitors that measure tectonics show that the lithosphere has ceased expanding and even contracted a little. However, that is no certain indication that the eruption is about to finish. Roughly estimated, 15-20 million cubic meters of solid volcanic debris might have spurted to the surface from inside the earth since the eruption began on March 21, said geophysicist Magnús Tumi Gudmundsson. The lava now covers approximately one square kilometer.As of the 29th of March, the eruption in the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic system has been on a small scale so far, and tremors signal are diminishing, at least for the time being. Lava has flowed north into two gullies, either side of Heljarkambur ridge. It has been predicted that lava might reach the river Krossá within a few days. Krossá flows due west, north of Eyjafjallajökull, and into the larger river Markarfljót. As of the 26th of March, the webcams appear to show diminished activity (although the reduction of ice and snow in the vicinity of the eruption through melting may also be playing a role in reducing the scale of the eruption plumes). Lava effusion issued from the Northeast of the eruptive fissure. Strombolian activity remained from the Northernmost cone. A warning has been issued about toxic plume in the vicinity of the eruption: sulphur, flourine, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are being released by the activity. Seismically things appear relatively stable underneath Eyjafjallajökull and Katla and there is little sign of the latter stirring, although preparation are under way locally, just in case. As of 24th of March, the latest observations from Iceland on the Eyjafjallajökull fissure eruption have been limited by poor weather and low visibility, but overall the activity, located at Fimmvörduháls between Eyjafjallajökull and Myrdalsjökull, does not appear to be changing significantly in character. As of the 22nd, the volcanic activity was increasing slowly but surely, according to an estimate of scientists who flew over the eruption zone in the afternoon. The lava flow from the crater is spreading out over a larger area and the eruption is becoming more forceful. Visibility was limited to begin with but then the weather cleared up and the scientists could see the eruption clearly; the lava is flowing down a canyon south of the craters on the pass and clouds of steam rise up from where the lava melts ice and snow. As of 22nd of March, an increase in activity at the Fimmvorduhals eruption on the morning has led to the no-fly zone in southern Iceland being widened. Volcanic activity near the Eyjafjallajokull glacier increased significantly at around 07.00 this morning, with a series of explosions sending a gas and ash cloud 4km into the air. Geologist Hjörleifur Sveinbjörnsson at the Icelandic Meteorological Office reported that the activity which increased about an hour ago was decreasing now at about 8:30 AM. Instead of a large cumulus there are now small puffs, yet they release a large amount of volcanic debris into the atmosphere. The jet from the eruption zone reaches a height of approximately eight kilometers and is light in color. It is likely that it is mixed with water, which indicates that a steam explosion with an increased volume of water has entered the system. The eruption is under constant observation by the Icelandic Meteorological Office and the coordination center in Skógarhlíd in Reykjavík remains active. Geophysicist Páll Einarsson has pointed out that there is a connection between the volcano in Eyjafjallajökull and the neighboring volcano Katla underneath the Myrdalsjokull icecap. The current eruption could trigger a larger eruption in Katla. As of the 21st of March, according press agencies and VAAC, the volcano near the Eyjafjallajoekull glacier began to erupt shortly on 20th of March before midnight, leading to road closures in the area. Several hundred people have been evacuated from their homes. The initial visual report of the eruption was at 23:52 GMT, when a red cloud was observed at the volcano, lightening up the sky above the eruptive site.

April 14th, 2010

As of the 14th of April, news reported that two airplanes flying over Eyjafjallajökull this morning indicated that smoke is coming up in a new place to the south west of the eruption in Fimmvörduháls. During morning all indications are that a new eruption is starting in Eyjafjallajökull glacier. Rivers are growing bigger and smoke was seen over the glacier this morning. Residents of the area were evacuated but some were allowed to go to their farms to attend to animals this morning. Geologist said that indications are that an eruption has started under the glacier. Markarfljót, the biggest river close to the glacier is growing at a fast rate. At this moment it is difficult to estimate the size of the eruption. The eruption has now been confirmed but no magma has been seen yet.Earthquake activity started late last night in the area. Roads to the area have been closed both from the east and the west. Yesterday scientists indicated that the eruption in Fimmvörduháls might have ended. As of the 12th of April, last scientific report showed that seismic tremor reaches a minimum - eruption stops? As of the 11th of April, the Institute of Earth Sciences University of Iceland reported that eruption tremor approaches pre-eruptive levels, but visual observation reveal eruptive activity in late afternoon.
