Active Volcano In Iceland !

[StarFan]

Well our Volcano in Bardarbunga that erupted the 31st.of August is still active and looks like it is gonna go on for quite a while.

Here is some cool Video taken yesterday from a chopper. The Volcano does not look that big but make no mistake - this is much bigger than the Video implies.

Enjoy - and lets just hope it does not blow up through the Icecap of the glacier - Man, that would mean trouble to say the least and Iceland would again be the most hated nation by other European countries due to ash fall and air traffic restrictions.

Thanks for the concern Joe.

Luckily this Volcano is in the middle of nowhere, on the edge of the north side of Iceland´s biggest glacier "Vatnajokull. No habitants in the area so everybody is safe. It does though produce a lot of Sulphur that blows over the country and people in small towns on the East Coast that have lung problems or asthma are sometimes adviced to stay inside their houses as much as possible when the pollution gets serious.

They are predicting that this could go on for months or even years but we are hoping for the best. The only real danger is if it melts through the icecap of the glacier - then we will have a serious explosions and ashfall beyond belief. Lets pray that it won´t happen.
