Udbrud i Island startet påny…
Tidligt i morges begyndte et nyt udbrud af glødende lavafontæner, der som springvand står op af sprækkerne i lavamarken. Vulkanaktiviteten sker fra det underjordiske spaltesystem, som tilhører vulkanen Bardarbunga under Vatnajøkull. Udbruddet finder sted udenfor gletscheren og skaber herved ikke så kraftig askeudvikling. Med andre ord: “Overtrykket er ved at gå af vulkanens ophobede magmamængde i undergrunden.

A new eruption in Holuhraun has started
31st August 2014 08:40 – Eruption in Holuhraun observed 05:15
Observation from scientists in the field (05:15): It appears that the eruptive fissure is longer than in the last eruption. It is extending north and south on the same fissure. The eruption is a very calm lava eruption and can hardly be seen on seismometers (almost no gosórói). Visual observation confirm it is calm, but continuous.

IMO has chnged the aviation colour code of Bárðarbunga to “red”.
