Can just imagine what will happen when it burns its way through all that glacial ice. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28913165 At least nobody lives near it.

The land of ice and fire! I was stationed there at Keflavik many moons ago. There are places you can see ice and lava together...
Celebrating 35+ years in the field of avionics....my how time flies!

I think it was the national Geographic Channel that did a program on Iceland's volcanoes. (not the 2010 eruption)
Scary.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Opened up the video in YouTube and this was the date uploaded, "Uploaded on Apr 15, 2010" Yeah, a little behind the times.

Dunno. The activity has died off, the 'red' status of yesterday is back to 'orange' now. Some magma has migrated to a new sub-surface dyke, a small amount *may* have reached the surface under ~300m of ice, but the rising magma signatures appear to have ceased. There have been some 'caldera collapse' quakes as the voids from the moving magma have closed, of which the 5+ M ones seem to have been the most significant ones. Quite possible that the sequence will kick off again with rising magma and low frequency harmonics... but nothing showing right now. http://baering.github.io/Has the current eruption status (currently blank) with the last 50 quakes (of the last 48 hours ~ currently some 1-2 hours at most due to the high number), a 3d representation of the quakes from the last XX hours (1-48) above YY magnitude (0-4), and a webcam overlooking the glacier and site of earthquake activity and volcano.
