#1 Thanks. No, nobody's saying...@ Central User.<br />#1 Thanks. No, nobody's saying Katla is erupting, but they are saying there's movement - earthquakes. These are often a predictor of an eruption but could also be false alarms perhaps because modern equipment is more sensitive.<br /><br />@ Russell McNeil.<br />Yes - you say it better. Thanks.<br /><br />@ Chhuckles.<br />It was just a bit of nonsense really, but ...

The statement there at the top of the page that Katla is not erupting has not been altered in over a month. That notwithstanding, the earthquake page from the same office http://en.vedur.is/earthquakes-and-volcanism/earthquakes/myrdalsjokull/ has been showing a clearly defined increase in earthquake activity along a fault line connecting the two volcanoes. This is precisely the sort of thing that scientists monitor in advance of a new eruption and does suggest that magma is moving into the Katla chamber. The fact that the Office is still silent on this reflects scientific conservatism rather than scientific fact. There has been a swarming of small eathquakes under Katla and along the fault line connecting Katla with Eyjafjallajökull over the past week. It's intriguing and worth watching. Coincident with this the eruption at Eyjafjallajökull is actually deflating. We cannot see what is happening underground, but it is not unreasonable to imagine that there might be a translation underway and a build up of pressures occurring under Katla. It's not at all far-fetched. Katla has erupted historically after Eyjafjallajökull in the past. The signs are that Katla is stirring. It's worth watching closely.Russell McNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12350059314823230146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833323371429093721.post-26324016750898740272010-05-22T12:05:49.954+01:002010-05-22T12:05:49.954+01:00Dear Mrs Rigby,

The Ice...Dear Mrs Rigby,<br /><br />I know no more than you.<br /><br />The Icelandic Met Office do however have a regularly updated page on this precise topic.<br /><br />http://hraun.vedur.is/ja/Katla2009/gosplott.html<br /><br />Currently the page states "Katla is NOT erupting and there are NO indications that Katla is about to erupt." The page was last updated 15 minutes ago and has provided the same narrtive summary for at least the last four days.<br /><br />Yours sincerely,<br /><br />CUCentral Userhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488603451815841959noreply@blogger.com
