Live webcam of Icelandic volcano erupting!!!

[Ninong]

Guess what I found?

Live webcam of that volcano (Eyjafjallajökull) in Iceland that is throwing up all that ash that is keeping the planes from flying in Europe right now. It may take a while for it to load, so just be patient. It took about two minutes for me and I have a 25 meg connection.

Actually I wasn't looking for that one, I just found it by accident when I was looking for Katla. That's the really big volcano 12 miles away from this one that is overdue. It last erupted in 1918 and it usually blows approximately every 80 years.

Katla will make this current volcano look like child's play if it erupts, and it has erupted EVERY time the other one has. At least it has erupted every time the other one has that we know of, which is only three times (920, 1612 and 1821-1823) since this current one is not all that active compared to Katla. Katla is really big and much more active than the current one that is keeping the planes on the ground in Europe. Katla has had 16 major documented eruptions in the past one thousand years compared to only four for the little volcano, counting the present one. I hate having to type its name, so I will just call it the little volcano.

Iceland prepares for second, more devasting volcanic eruption.

"Eyjafjallajokull has blown three times in the past thousand years," Dr McGarvie told The Times, "in 920AD, in 1612 and between 1821 and 1823. Each time it set off Katla."

Live webcam of Katla. This one should load in a couple of seconds. Probably not many people watching this one... yet. When this one blows, it will be spectacular and affect crops around the world for the next year or so. Wait and see. We haven't had all that much volcanic action lately, not since Pinatubo in 1991 and Mount St. Helens in 1980. It's been kinda slow lately, just a bunch of earthquakes and one big tsunami. I almost forgot to mention hurricanes but I've been through so many of those that they don't count as something exotic.

List of volcanoes in Iceland.

P.S. -- Rush Limbaugh said the volcano is erupting because God is angry that we passed "Obamacare." Does he mean regular God or Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess? Rush is hilarious sometimes. In fact, Rush is hilarious most of the time. What a comedian!

Maybe we could get Bjork to put on her swan dress and sing a lullaby to the volcano? In Icelandic.

Here's an even better idea. Let's dig a huge hole in the ground and fill it with ash from the volcano. Then we could sprinkle Viagra tablets around the perimeter of the hole. Then we could invite Rush over to take a look at our creation and when he bent over to pick up the Viagra, we could kick him in the ash hole. Would that count as a human sacrifice to the volcano god or goddess?

Hi George,
All I can say is WOW!
And I'm not sure that trick will work with Rush, although he may like it...
I would love to sacrifice Rush to any volcano if it would stop erupting after that, it may backfire though... This man is positively insane!

Maybe it would fix that pilonidal cyst than he used as his excuse to avoid the draft during the Vietnam war?

Both of the live webcams are working great right now. Iceland is four hours ahead of EDT. It took about a minute for the first one to load and about two seconds for the second one to load. Here are the links again:

There doesn't seem to be nearly as much ash coming out of the little volcano this morning and Katla, the big one, is still quiet. It will take some time for Katla to burn through the 1,650 feet of ice that's on top of its crater. Its crater is 6 miles across, which is three times as large as the little volcano's crater. And the little volcano had only about half as much ice on top of it.

When Katla finally does erupt, it will throw up more than ten times as much ash as the little volcano and it will put the ash much higher into the atmosphere. That could be several weeks away, so maybe governments will actually begin working on their contingency plans now? On the other hand, maybe they won't. No need being prepared for something that is very likely to happen just because it hasn't happened in 92 years. Let's just wait for it to blow up first. Then panic.
