As excited as we all are *please* follow the current advice to stay away from eruption site. The site will be open to all as soon as the situation stabilises but the very start of fissure eruption is hugely dangerous because additional fissures can open anywhere #Fagradalafjall

Okay: here’s everything you need to know about the new eruption in Iceland, including what is certain, what is uncertain, and all that jazz. (I’ve got a few weeks of book leave left, but couldn’t leave y’all hanging.) THREAD 🧵🌋 credit: Veðurstofa Íslands / Icelandic Met Office

WARNING: lava flow rate is double from last eruption and gas emission is considerable. The area has been closed off.

Stunning images to be waking up to (Pic from Fréttastofa RÚV webcam). The eruption is reported to be 10x bigger than 2021 and 3x than 2022. Communities to the north, including Reykjavik, were warned about potential gas pollution during the night🧵

Those watching the #tremor graph from NASPMON station faf might be worried the eruption has ended - instead, it has had to be rescued from the path of the lava! 🌋 Hopefully Cambridge Volcano Seismology station odf (safely up on the ridge at Oddafell) will be connected to Veðurstofa Íslands / Icelandic Met Office soon!

ICEYE’s data has helped to predict the location of the recent eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland and to infer the depth of the lava. The data was used by the Iceland Met Office which is closely monitoring the volcanic unrest in the Reykjanes Peninsula.

Our sampling team collected quenched lava yesterday. The samples collected from the beginning of the eruption have been analyzed and we are evaluating the data! Results soon!

Cambridge Volcano Seismology station "odf" / Oddafell is now online streaming to Veðurstofa Íslands / Icelandic Met Office to help monitor the evolution of the #eruption on the #Reykjanes Peninsula 🌋🇮🇸 Background station map from Egill Árni Gudnason Drumplot: hraun.vedur.is/ja/drumplot/dr… Tremor plot: hraun.vedur.is/ja/oroi/odf

And the coherence on Askja is back. Still ~30 cm of uplift between Septeber 2022 and July 2023. Amazing 🤩

Images from the drone overflight in Shawn Willsey’s live stream (link below), show where the lava claimed our station! Compare the location of the track - green arrow marks the station. Agonisingly close to escaping, but astonishingly close to the vents. Some truly unique data!
