Volcanic activity in iceland

Post by sanjet »

Anyone get "memos" regarding their NAT routes when flying in that area. I got a vacation next week to athens. Eruption is forecasted within a few hours to a day.

Wondering how this will unfold :|

Airspace closed around the predicted breach of the volcano.

Official reporting of a small eruption started a few minutes ago under 500 meters of ice.

Standby for the big show.

As predicted by scientists monitoring this volcanic development just a few hours ago the volcano has breached the surface. There is a nice glow now and it should get much, much bigger in the next few hours and days.

Here is a live webcam site if you are interested to watch its development: http://www.livefromiceland.is/webcams/bardarbunga

Lets hope it doesn't go off with a big bang and block the airways.
