Here is the webcam of Katla, to see if anything interesting happening;

After the last few days of excitement in Katla, things appear to have quietened down now. Roads have re-opened and life gets back to normal, for now.

The activity prompted the Scientific Advisory Board to issue a statement here, http://www.almannavarnir.is/english/the-scientific-advisory-board-meet-today-because-of-the-seismic-unrest-in-katla/ 

Things could go either way, so still worth keeping an eye on developments.

Yeah, it's the Mirror I realise; but interesting if there's any truth in it- Mount Teide blowing its top. It's the Canaries that are suspected of having an undersea rock shelf that, if displaced, might create a super tsunami.

For a long time, I've thought that it might be a good target for al Qaeda...

Yes, those are great links - thanks for sharing.

I'm currently keeping an eye on Katla again as the quake activity looks as if it may be picking up again today after a lull (although it may just be a little blip - too early to say).

Campi Flegrei near Naples giving cause for concern

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/20/volcano-near-naples-showing-signs-of-reawakening

Its caldera, formed 39,000 years ago, represents the largest eruption in Europe in the last 200 000 years - and 1/2 million people live in it

Bogoslof in the Aleutians has erupted. Ash cloud heading for the Arctic, might affect a few great circle airline routes, might (dare I mention it here?) affect ice melt next spring

But it looks quiet again this morning.

I see that Katla's status has been raised to yellow this morning in association with a suspected glacial flooding event.

http://icelandreview.com/news/2017/07/27/earthquake-katla-no-cause-concern has details.

Also on same page, if you scroll down, a story about Rejkavik's highest temp since 2008 (21.6C), recorded 26/7/17. 23.6 also recorded inland  at Thingvellir. This could tie in with the glacial melting said to be responsible for these earthquakes, and the prospect of flooding.

It is possible  the temperatures would have had some impact however I suspect some form of volcanic/geothermal component may be involved due to significant increases in conductivity in the river affected.

There are unconfirmed reports that Popocatepetl has erupted following the earthquake in Mexico.

Trying to check if it is true.

It'd be interesting if it did go full Pinatubo, though...

But the headline (Popocatepetl explodes after earthquake) does nto match the report underneath, which talks about a plume of smoke.

I guess some internet sites put anything in a headline to get the traffic.
