19 tremours in the last 48 hours

Just bear this in mind when booking your hollidays....

This is the big one, right?

About 10 times.... I have been watching this link for two months and this is a big increase in activity....

Also... they are very concentrated on the NW rim... there have been 14 in one day before but they were spread around the map.

I'm going to Twitter/Facebook this just so I look clever when it blows - I hope you know what you're talking about!

Note to self

Shopping list

rice, sugar baked beans, sun lamps , tinned fruit, bacon, mud and snow tyres, wiper blades, , shovels, umbrella

It is due later this year, but it rumbling. might be this week might take another month or two

So, what will happen if this one goes off then ??

everybody dies

everybody

We possibly get ash cloud for a year, few flights, reduced sunlight.

I knew there was a good reason for booking Wales over Turkey this summer hols....

More nonsense.

Football fixtures cancelled. Loads of foreign mercenaries, oops, sorry, players, deported to their own countries, (maybe). Sky reduced to showing re-runs of World Cup matches , with vuvuzelas, - plus inept commentators describing the 'bleeding obvious', and of course, even more bloody adverts, - for ash-bins, - with explicit instructions on what to do with them when they're full

How exciting.

Need to reverse all the wind-farm 'windmills' to blow the ash away, into somebody else's 'back yard'

Less Global warming

Bugger. Looks like booking flights in late September was a bad move.

Thanks for telling me, flying off to Bodrum in 2 weeks. F***ing typical.

Hope the wind's blowing in the other direction.

If you are flying, please check your insurance. We bought holiday insurance recently and there are very few policies which allow for ash cloud disruption. It's worth paying a bit more for peace of mind. Some will include it but with an excess.

Cheers, I'm off to Florida on Friday 13th !!!!!!

There's NEVER a good reason for booking a holiday in Wales!

any chance of a tsunami hitting Scotland and going down the east coast?

what a crock of rubbish uninformed bullmud

lolz etc

Do you have a professional interest in the activities of the Icelandic volcano's?, watching that website for 2 months takes some dedication.

I was visiting Iceland, I needed to know it was safe...

Erm...I'd hardly call them earthquakes really. The average human wouldn't feel anything less than about magnitude 3. I'm not oging to lose too much sleep over it just yet.

Notwithstanding the size, I seem to recall that earthquakes are indicative of a magma chamber underneath a volcano charging and when it is fully charged, then things happen
