Icelandic eye candy, raw video [View all]
This eruption has been the most energetic yet, intially a staggering 2000m3/sec, now down to the 50--70 range with most of the fissure closed. The early part was explosive, the weather has been wretched and there was plenty of ground water. This starts slow but builds quickly.
The power supply plus the north and west roads out of Grindavik have been cut by lava. Anyone foolish enough to have hidden in town will need to be rescued by sea if the heavy gas pollution hasn't gotten him/them first.
Moral: if volcanologists tell you to get out of Dodge, get out of Dodge.
