It might blow just in time for winter

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

Erik Klemetti on the latest seismic activity of Katla.

https://www.wired.com/2016/09/earthquake-swarm-icelands-katla-raises-alert-status/.

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.

Isn't it more a case of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma having an unstable geology whereby, in the event of an eruption, there's a danger of a huge slice of the volcano sliding into the atlantic and creating a tsunami?

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

I obviously got the wrong volcano.

Thank goodness it'd take a lot more energy than implied in your thought....wouldn't it?

Like the map Dougie; thanks. We're looking at volcanic regions at school- might use it.

Happy Halloween!

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

Interesting little video on the BBC site today of Kilauea eruption hitting the sea:-

And a small eruption from Etna last night.

But it looks quiet again this morning.

Worth looking at Mount Etna right now as it's erupting.

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.
