Icelandic Ash DISCUSSION

I plan to keep the Iceland Volcano page for the time being as of course the Volcano could easily go again.

BREAKING NEWS: Apparently Hekla, another Volcano in Iceland may have just erupted with plumes coming from there.

Unconfirmed reports (perhaps scare stories) of a second eruption

I think by the weekend things will be back top normal!

Things may briefly return to normal, though i still think at times Northerly based winds will return at times.

Breaking update: Second volcano seems to have erupted in Iceland, the volcano Hekla has apparently started to emit ash. Web cam below. All over twitter etc...

Will await further confirmation before any updates on the site.

With seismic activity taking a big increase lately im not surprised. A plume is visible on the webcam.

Hekla is one of the most active volcano's in Iceland. So it may not it may not amount to anything. Awaiting confirmation from other sources.

Apparently the camera was just turned to face Eyja, so Hekla hasnt erupted we think.

Who knows, some sights reporting it has. Could make sense with increased seismic activity.

Will await proper confirmation.

Now unconfirmed (but still conflicting) that there is no new eruption. It was the camera faced the other way and incorrectly labeled.

Confirmation that the Helka is not erupting, this was a camera error!

The ban could be back in place by Wednesday because the plume may regain height. Its only been lower because of strong winds which should die down tomorrow.

Very odd sky here now with an orange tint to the cloudy sky, alot of haze and the street lights have been on and off.

Ash in the sky?

Predictions for when it will stop erupting?

Very hard to say unfortunately. New ash cloud on the way as the volcano's intensity increases and the ash cloud gains height. Limited flight service tomorrow is suspect.

The lava reaching the surface would be good! I don't expect the situation to get any worse with flight restrictions ending by Saturday! In fact i think by Thursday restrictions will have pretty much ended, so the relaxing of restrictions across the UK as we head through tomorrow!

Ash meant to stop on the 30th.

Ash is very unlikely to be as worse as it was, some short eruptions of ash still possible. The volcano seems to have lava coming up from the surface meaning it is not exploding like it has been.

Thank goodness.

All UK airports open from 10pm, me thinks a little pressure form BA... A lot earlier than thought!

All back to normal now. Unless any severe eruptions occur now i think the show is over now.

Glad its over so the news will shut up about it.

Shows over folks. At last.

The situation Iceland will probably remain very "fluid" for quite some time and always the risk of further eruptions and the risk at another volcano in the future. Thankfully winds will take all this ash away soon.

Unless severe, i dont think any flight bans will be as extensive as they were before. This could have been one of the biggest airspace closures ever for our lifetime. Who knows.

Website and volcano page updated, weather stories to be published from tomorrow
