The eruption has officially started 9 minutes ago.

I will be on the next flight that isnt sold out. I will send photos, videos and live streams when I am there. Worst case is I leave on the 19th, but I dont plan to wait that long.

My bucket list of Hurricane, Tornado, Volcano, Avalanche and Tsunami is getting close to completed!

I will update this thread when I can.

Newest live camera - The fountains are about 100 feet tall right now.

So is this 3 volcanoes?

No this is one fissure (line of lava from a crack in the earth). This eruption is on the peninsula near the capitol. Its only a few miles from the airport, but isn't impacting air traffic, since there is no ash.

See picture from my friend who just arrived onsite. 297319599_734259611233094_7917922556211466717_n.jpg


There are two other volcanos in yellow alert right now, but there is always volcanoes in yellow alert in Iceland.

Safe travels, ww.

Are you a meteorologist?

Nope - Just a freak for power greater than me.

At this link you can find the first live feed from someone on the ground, and not a fixed camera. It also has sound. Its down a little on this page, but its the first live video.

Just an FYI - Icelandair has a "friend for a day" program during the winter months. You get assigned an Icelandair employee and spend the day with them. A friend did that 1 year and the woman brought her husband who was a vulcanologist. She had a blast.

This eruption is considerably larger than the last one in 2021. Right now the estimated volume is 45 cubic meters a minute. The S02 readings are way bigger than LaPalma in the Canary Islands a few months ago. BTW - Bushcraft bear (LaPalma video reporting) might be heading to Iceland and I will try to do a live update with him.

Here is a link with sound. And multiple views.
