It was worth pointing out. But yesterday's "smoke" at #Fagradalsfjall #volcano 2021 eruption site would have increased in activity by now if it was cracks of an opening rift eruption. So what was it? Maybe outgassing from 2021 lava enhanced by high humidity and low sun angle at sunset. #geology

"A clear message - an eruption is coming" by @RUVEnglish - A geothermal well bore hole which overflowed 1-2 days before #Fagradalsfjall #volcano🌋 eruptions in 2021 & 2022 is doing it again. https://nyr.ruv.is/english/2023-07-09-a-clear-message-an-eruption-is-coming-387366 #Iceland #geology

"A clear message - an eruption is coming" - RÚV.is

Changes in a borehole at Auðnir on Vatnsleysuströnd may be (another) harbinger of a volcanic eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Its owner says that it was flooded shortly before the last eruption - and now is again.

As we monitor for activity at #Fagradalsfjall & #Keilir #volcano in #Iceland, keep in mind no one knows where it will erupt until we see cracks opening and lava flowing. Anyone claiming to know are frauds pushing ad views. 2021 & 2022 best estimates were within a few km. #geology

Anyone who has been occasionally monitoring the webcams for activity at #Fagradalsfjall & #Keilir #volcano🌋 has probably noticed a hint of the high latitude of #Iceland, almost at the Arctic Circle. At 2AM local time the webcam showed the darkest of night was civil twilight. 👀

Another spot to keep an eye👀 on: steam/smoke rising from Meradalir, only in northern corner and persisting for 20+ minutes, via MBL Geldingadalir webcam. This area is 2022 lava on top of 2021 lava. https://youtube.com/watch?v=LMb66idO7DE #Fagradalsfjall #volcano🌋 #Iceland #geology

“The location of the eruption is good when looking at dangers to infrastructure or inhabited places. It is however in a worse location to get to than previous eruptions in the area. The hike to a vantage point is long and very strenuous.”

Fall into a burning (curtain) of fire with fissure eruptions | U.S. Geological Survey

If you've been following the latest geological news, you'll have noticed the brand new eruption on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula. It's a classic example of an eruption of relatively fluid lava simultaneously at multiple points along a fissure in the earth, resulting in "curtains of fire". These fascinating phenomena provide a spectacular glimpse into the geologic processes driving eruptions.

An eruption opened a 1.7-mile-long fissure in the ground on Monday (June 10), with lava still spewing and flowing south towards the site of the region's last volcanic eruption.

Remarkable footage. A drone operator in #Iceland found what we were all looking for. There wasn't a webcam in the right place. But he got it. Cracks opened, smoked and video of the first lava emerging.
