Soon, The Lava Comes Out of the Ice
Newest today: Lava continues to flow north from the eruption site and down the Gigjokull glacier- That vill seen become under the glacier in a short time.
There are no measurable indications that the eruption is about to end.
There are no measurable geophysical changes within the Katla volcano. This lady as silent!

Reykjavik City Centre is just empty!

Tourists in Iceland have decreased after the eruption began in Eyjafell say members in tourism.
Tourists cannot ride snowmobiles in Glacier Myrdal, because he is full of ash, which cause damage to snowmobiles, glacier tours, company says.
There is no sign that the volcano is to be completed soon.

From E15 and B10 today

22:00 PM The Icelandic Metoffice tell today: "No measurable geophysical changes within the Katla volcano. Earthquake activity on the north-western edge of Vatnajökull [B10] is unconnected with the ongoing eruption".
More from E15: Status Report 18:00 PM.

Land of the birds
The blue sky is gone
00:00 AM The E15 Volcanic eruptions create more lava which now merges the glacier and make more water. Lava cast 100 meters into the air and falls on the glacier. The eruption appears to intend to be active for several more days. No earthquakes have been recorded in the region in two days. It does seem to Katla sleeps without snoring. Probably bring no news of Katla until September at the earliest. She needs a good time to load their big gun if she wants. On “Vatnajokull” area is something worries. There are many small earthquakes the entire "Bardarbunga" volcano for a long time. If something happens there, it can also create flash flooding problems.

Volcano E15 map

00:30 AM The E 15 is a nickname for the volcano Eyjafjalla Glacier. New maps have been published showing the current restricted area. Visibility to the E15 is not currently now. Volcanic has no change the power from yesterday. No measurable for an earthquake with E15 in this time. Katla is a very silent. Unusually quietly these days maybe.
16:00 PM Ash is still rising from the volcano E15 but since the ash plume has not risen above 3 km it cannot be seen on radar. Ash fog in southwest coast, nearly Eyrarbakki. A wery litle asfall here to day.
WMO issued a briefing (20 April)

Volcanic Ash possible in the western part
The plume could be seen on IMO's radar till 04:00. This morning it rose up to 16.000 feet, ca 4.8 km, and ash is blowing towards west.
Water in Markarfljot river increased slightly yesterday, probably due to continuous flow from the eruption area (Gigjökull).
Here are two RADARSAT-2 images of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano acquired on April 9 and 20 2010.

Latest report from the volcano Eyjafjallajokull
Katla is still quiet and sleeps like a stone.

The litlebrother of Katla slow down.
12:00PM Steam with a litle ash, rising low (+-3km) to south from the volcano. Erupton stay active. Wind NW 5m/s Visibility good.
14:00 PM Heavy gas explocion's in the craters. Lawa blows up to 50-100 meters. Only one craters as activy now. A white steam rising high. No longer risk for ashfall.
17:00 PM Large and thick white steam columns rise from the volcano.Visibility is deteriorating and likely to not be shown to volcano the next 170 hours.
20:00 PM No longer visibility. High pollution, fluoride has been detected in ash from the volcano.

Icelandic tourism leaders are crazy for words, the President spoke on the volcano Katla. (They think that now, no one will come here out in fear: Is it true?)

Europe, you're free today

Smoke has decreased a lot from yesterday and a little Volcanic Ash. Agitation of the earthquake measure is similar to yesterday. Visibility is good.
Be good to each other and visit Iceland if you can. See with your eyes all that has happened!
There is no risk of flash floods because the water is continuously flowing off the glacier.

Here can yoy watch the Volcano fire in the night, and the smoke on the day.
Ash from the volcano is probably finished

4:00 PM Ash fall is now activity in tis time and lay south of the volcano.Ash today comes mostly after wind taken from the glacier.
9:00 PM National road 1.
Due to changed conditions the road between "Markarfljot" and "Skogar" will be opened to general traffic. Visibility is still very limited.
Map, closed /open road.
MODIS Ash cloud
Last night Ashfall

From midnight last night steady northly winds blew over the eruption, which according to informtion from the Icelandic Met Office, should continue today and therefore present the possibility of ash fall in the area under the glacier and even over "Vestmannaeyjar", as tell Department of Civil Protection and Emergency Management.

Is the Volcano Falling to Sleep?
Wildlife’s health in danger.
As much ash has fallen on the fields and meadows, is the health of both animals and birds in grave danger, nearly the Eyjafjalla area. Farmers try to save their animals, but birds must have to save themselves. Many birds try to fly from the ash, into a house's or barn's with a farmers near the volcano area.

Northwest wind blows the ash to sea.
Many travelers will see the volcanic area.
Roughly speaking, up to 90% of Iceland, including the Reykjavik area, has not been affected by the eruption in any direct way. All infrastructure of the country is unaffected, except roads in the flooding area below the glacier.
Eyjafallajokull - Heavy Ash fall to day and Lightening
The volcanic eruption under "Eyjafjallajokull" glacier has shown signs of increasing activity throughout the morning. Significant amounts of ash have fallen in inhabited areas to the south of the glacier and extending as far to the west as "Saudhusvellir", close to "Skogará", and to "Mýrdalssandur" in the east. Ash fall has significantly affected visibility in localised areas to the south of the glacier and around "Núpur" making travel by vehicle impossible for a while. Lightening has been reported in the volcano’s ash plume.
The Police are enforcing travel restrictions in and around the area. National Route 1 is closed to traffic between "Hvolsvollur" and "Skógará". Route 261, "Fljotshlídarvegur" is closed from "Smáratún". Police report heavy traffic towards "Hvolsvollur". Police point out that, unlike the eruption "Fimmvörduháls", the eruption under the "Eyjafjallajokull" glacier cannot be considered a tourist destination. The situation in and around the area of the glacier is hazardous.

Iceland Black Smoke come from Hell
The Department of Civil Protection and Emergency Management is Aware of a Thick cloud over the town "Kirkjubaearklaustur" Although little Ash has fallen to the ground. Most of the Ash appear to be Rising to a high altitude, spreading impression. Other built-up areas in Iceland are not known to have experienced ash fall. Northerly winds are forecast tonight with anticipated ash fall to the south of Eyjafjallajökull glacier.
In the afternoon was a chance to take pictures of the volcanic smoke.
The Icelandic National road 1 closed to day.
Many roads near the volcano "Eyjafell" are closed. The Flash floods yesterday has washed away the main road.
Health Hazard of Volcanic Ash
There is considerable Ash fall resulting from the volcanic eruption under the glacier “Eyjafjallajokull”. The Ash that is falling is composed of fine and course particles. The wind directions and other Meteorological Conditions have an Impact on where the Ash fall to earth.
Air traffic in the ten-kilometer radius around the Volcano is prohibited and will be so until noon on Monday.

RED ALLERT IN ICELAND!
The Department of Civil Protection and Emergency Management has ordered an immediate evacuation of the area due to the imminent and immediate danger of flash flooding. Reports confirm a large body of water emerging from under Gigjokul. Inhabitants are instructed to evacuate immediately to higher ground or safe areas.
The water is expected to breach the flood barriers at Thorolfssfell in Fljotshlid.
22:00 Flood Warning has expired. Tonight was glacial floods, without major damage.
No flights due to ash from Iceland

Volcanic eruptions under the ice started
The Civil Protection Department tell:
The run off from the glacier "Gigjokull" is increasing. The walkers’ bridge has been swept away in the direction of the sea. The eruption is curtailed to the top crater and not on the south western side as was originally thought. A deluge is beginning to roar down the southern slopes of "Eyjafallajokull" according to a report from a local farmer at Thorvaldseyri.
Farmers who went into the danger area this morning to feed their cattle are asked to leave immediately.
Tonight: Ash falls now in the lands to farmers in the nearby volcano. Sometimes so much that visibility is only 50 meters.
