Volcano and Earthquake watch

Mount Etna's erupted again. Surprised no sign of it on this thread - or have I missed it?

Spookily, we were chatting about Mt Etna going off just the other day.

It happened in The White Lotus and we were discussing how spectacular the sunsets are after a big eruption. So, obvs, this is my fault. Sorry, Sicily.

I shall ensure I don't talk about pandemics, nuclear war etc for the foreseeable.

Mount Etna's erupted again. Surprised no sign of it on this thread - or have I missed it?

Annoyingly I missed it by a few days. Was passing through the area. Had been on Vulcano where they'd obviously thought a little more about prep for evacuation since I had last been there.

​

Anyway, Halemaʻumaʻu, Kilauea kicked off earlier today. Fascinating crater floor to explore and exciting to think about the possible escape options as you did so.

Kilauea volcano erupts in Hawaii, lava confined to crater

The Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island erupted early on Wednesday morning and lava flows are currently confined to the surrounding crater floor, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said on Wednesday.

Wonder how long this eruption will last ...

The trend for new vents / fissures in this area appears to be north-east[-ish] and getting closer to the airport, although currently only affecting an uninhabited area.

I forgot about this thread. Last week my Iceland living mate phoned me and said we've got earthquakes again so come over and see the imminent eruption One of these days I will run to the airport and go and see it for myself.

This is last night's update.

Was a mag5 'quake yesterday morning - and the IGS reckon that the magma's intrusion rate is around 5cubicmetres per second.
Today [10th Nov 2023] the authorities are working on [?] evacuation plans for Grindavik.

It would appear that magma is being intruded under Grindvik itself ... so the authorities say the town is to be evacuated.

News | Icelandic Meteorological office

en.vedur.is

e2a - my interpretation is that there is a lot of magma, and seismic readings indicate that the intrusion now includes dykes and well as the original sill. That's rather worrying as a dyke cuts across strata and the magma could be moving towards the surface ...
