Major Quake Swarm, Krisuvik Volcano, Iceland

Modern Survival for local Icelanders may be presented some challenges in the days ahead IF the trembling Krisuvik volcano decides to erupt.

A sudden and major earthquake swarm has struck on the Reykjanes peninsula at the southwest of Iceland and has unleashed more than 400 earthquakes as of this time. (Update, now over 800 at the end of the day)

The earthquake frequencies (Hz) have varied, as well as the depths and magnitudes, and their underlying cause is believed to be both magmatic and tectonic. During the past year the GPS monitoring station at the Krisuvik volcano has slowly been bulging higher, approximately 15 to 20 mm.

Krisuvik hasn’t erupted since 1340 and is believed to be of the variety of volcano that would erupt similar to that of Hawaii (Lava flow). This type of eruption would not hinder air traffic (good news for Europe).

However there is some concern, because if enough water is added to the eruptive mix, it would make the eruption and ‘explosive’ type of eruption. There is water nearby, and a 4 x 2 km lake situated a few km from the volcano itself.

No ‘official’ warnings have been given, and it is possible that this major activity will subside. At the same time though, the activity could go on and lead to an eruption. It is an amazing thing to watch these forces at work.

More than 200,000 people live within 25 km of the Krisuvik volcano.

Update, Krisuvik earthquake swarm sequence (27-Feb)

Found the following Krisuvik region earthquake map at the Icelandic Met Office. An image showing previous earthquakes (black) and the new earthquakes from today’s swarm (red). It looks like today’s swarm depth is closer to the surface than most of the previous earthquakes.

Svartir hringir tákna skjálfta fram til 26. febrúar en rauðir þann 27. febrúar.
Black rings represent the tremor to 26 red on February 27th February.

Iceland Volcano Eruption Imminent?

Looks like another eruption could occur any time now!   | February 11, 2011 at 11:56 am |

Iceland is very seismically active and has numerous volcanoes and it looks like another eruption could occur anytime.

The Eyjafjallajokoll volcano that erupted last year created havoc and some great conspiracy.  Air travel was interrupted grounding airplanes all over Europe.  The stoppage was supposedly due to silica in the ash possibly clogging the engines; even though airplanes fly sand storms in Afghanistan and Iraq.  

We thought we found a face on the surface.

 The scream: A radar image shows the crater of Eyjafjallajokull in southeast Iceland, which looks like the nightmarish face painted by Edvard Munch.

We thought we'd found a UFO.  http://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/04/17/ufo-near-iceland-volcano-on-webcam/

Some blamed global warming.  Icelandic Met Office http://en.vedur.is/hydrology/articles/nr/2110  said, "In some areas of Iceland's glaciers, where ash from the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption was sufficiently thick, glacial melt increased. However, on western Mýrdalsjökull ice cap which is next to Eyjafjallajökull, the ash was so thick that it acted as an insulator." 

"Increased glacial melt due to volcanic ash, unless thick enough to insulate."

Hard to imagine a scientist that doesn't blame global warming isn't it?  One thing we learned more about from the Eyjafjallajökull eruption is that there seems to be a connection between earthquake swarms and eruptions.  We wouldn't have thought it to be rocket science, just rock science. When adding one and one you get two.   When the earth shakes it makes sense that the likelihood of a fissure releasing volcanic ash and lava increases.

Volcanic System of Iceland

The Volcanic System of Iceland runs the length of the country, pretty much right down the middle.  Last year the great worry was that Katla, the big sister of Eyjafjallajokull was also going to erupt.  This image from the Met office is from May 21, 2010 to give an indication of the rumblings underground.  Katla did not errupt.

On May 24, 2010 the eruption was declared over.  http://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/05/25/icelands-volcano-eruption-endstops/  It was also about the same time Scientists in China succeeded in teleporting information between photons further than ever before. They transported quantum information over a free space distance of 16 km (10 miles) A connection, an off switch?  Of course we could always blame HAARP.

Like a pregnancy, here we are 9 months later and mother nature looks like she is about to give birth to more eruptions in Iceland.

Earthquake count in the last 48 hours as of Friday 02, 2011:

• Magnitude less than 1:  10
• Magnitude 1 to 2:  31
• Magnitude 2 to 3:  3
• Magnitude more than 3:  0
• Total: 44

Iceland Volcano and Earthquake blog is a must follow, written by Jón Frímann. From his last entry:

The Icelandic Met Office has issued that there is no eruption about to start in Bárðarbunga volcano. News that claim that are wrong and remain that until proven otherwise.

Iceland Met Office announcement. Original announcement can be found here (IMO web site)

Specialist remark

Presently, there are no signs of an imminent volcanic eruption in Iceland. The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) did not issue a warning last weekend in connection with increased seismicity beneath the Vatnajökull ice-cap. If signs of an eruption were apparent, IMO would issue a warning immediately.

A lot of earthquakes does not always mean that an eruption is imminent. It sometimes just means a lot of earthquakes and nothing more. Media dramatization does not chance this fact.

Icelandic News on this. Use Google Translate at own risk.

The folks at http://bigthink.com/ideas/26821 run an awesome site on volcanism worthy of a bookmark as well.

Our money is on another eruption.  Stayed tuned for more truth and conspiracy!
