Did I ever tell any of you Folks that I hate!!!!! Dial Up?!!! - Oh, I mean - Oh Thank you - it is oh so much better than not having anything at all - thank you heavens above - grrrr

Ummmm guys.. has anybody seen/heard anything about this?

Passengers on a jet flying over the Caribbean have received a close-up look at a massive volcanic eruption sending ash and dust higher than the plane itself. The 737 jet was flying to the holiday destination of St Lucia when it passed the Soufriere Hills volcano on the island of Monserrat midway through its eruption, the Daily Mail reported.

Thanks, I've tried to edit my post saying that it's not a current eruption but it wouldn't let me.

Here is the link to the Montserrat Volcano Observatory.

Seen a few stories appear about that eruption on Montserrat - Soufriere Hills has been rocking for a while now - see my previous post re recent activity there.

Still, an awesome sight for those lucky air passengers...

Here's the link I got.. news.ninemsn.com.au...

Use Moorfnz link, it works great, but one cam offline

With all this day and night time web cam watching we are doing, I am wondering when one of us will spot a UFO...

keep watching!

Here's the pic from the articles on the Soufriere Hills volcano erupting on island of Montserrat in the Caribbean

Some veeerrrry nice shots on the cams at the moment! New glowing areas to the left of the main eruption - assume lava channel...

Uh-oh.....looks like smoke coming out the top of Mt. Hekla.

That's new, isn't it?

Nope, not new, been going on for hours. The eruption site is behind Hekla. Before daylight you could really see the smoke from the eruption really lit up.

AAhhhh...thanks for the clarification. I obviously need to go to bed!

I thought the webcam at the very bottom the page was Hekla - in which case it is smoking, but has been for a while now.

I have been watching that particular hekla cam for about a month now. Right now the camera is not pointed directly at hekla proper but rather off to the side. I believe that smoke is coming from the eruption at Eyjafjallajoku.

edit
now that I have looked again they have moved that camera a little since I last looked. That building you see on the far left is a silo type building that site directly in camera view when it is pointed directly at hekla. but in this view you can see heklas dome.

Yep, the silo was in the centre of the frame earlier, as I watched it was repositioned further to the right and zoomed out. There it has stayed... I was comparing smoke formations and the Eyjafjallajoku ones didn't match the Hekla image as far as I could see...

There's smoke starting to come out of one of the domes to the right.

Edit: Ooo it just blew out some ash. How fascinating
