Will western Europe have: a cold summer.
Heh, I guess if that happens then  we could all have a cool summer across the northern hemisphere.

Awesome pictures, especially the second one. Would make a fine desktop picture.

Some more volcano porn.





I'm going to try to use the Easter break to hike up to the eruption. And try not to get myself killed doing so. If I get any good pictures I might post them here.

I'm surprised so many ants survived the eruption.

Oh cool, a new 300m fissure opened up close to the old one.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

And we're off to the main event. An eruption has begun underneath the glacier at it's highest point. Massive flooding in progress. All the folks who had to evacuate 3 weeks ago have upped sticks again.

Ok so the eruption is well on the way towards melting away completely the top of the glacier, with the meltwater raging out from and over the smaller glaciers that lie down to the lowlands from the main one. The fissure under the glacier is over 3 miles wide, so the first stage of the eruption is tiny compared to this one.  Ashfall is still limited, although once the eruption finishes turning the top of this massive glacier into slurry (a couple more hours), that will probably change. 



Meltwater heading under and over the tributary glaciers streaming towards the lowlands.

I heard on the way in today that ash blowing over Europe is closing flights all over the place.
