Did Iceland's Hekla volcano just erupt? Webcam

If you click Cntrl together with PrtSc that copies it to your clip board and in Windows (I know this works in XP version of Windows, at least)you can paste it into a new file in Paint. Paint can save it as Bitmap or JPEG whatever. Works the same in most all imaging programs whether it's Photoshop, Paint.NET or GIMP.

I'd love to see your screenshot.

The breaking news headline from MSNBC's site confirming Helka's eruption is gone now. It was just there 10 minutes ago.....what is going on?

# To reiterate: Media footage of plume only *indicate* Hekla may have erupted. Icelandic authorities have *not* confirmed that. 3 minutes ago via BreakingNews Headquarters

BNO is backtracking now.

Word around Twitter is that someone had temporarily tuned the Hekla webcam to the Eyja eruption (...oops...millions of people are watching and taking what they see at face value). Latest word is Hekla *is not* erupting. MSNBC pulled banner with no explanation.

Pretty nice view on this webcam (which has not been overloaded yet like the other one) and definitely nothing happening.

www.simnet.is...

Icelandic media apparently also saying nothing.

hope this works, but this is picture I got (screen capture) before the cam went down and moved...

Looks like the camera was moved last night..... the seem to have fixed the camera..... no longer showing eruption. Looks like a false call...??

I think it may have been a mistake as now wikipedia have change the last eruption back to 2000 for Hekla. And i haven't seen anything on the news yet!

The last image i see on the webcam did NOT look like an eruption but thats just my opinion. I cant get on the webcam now

They probably wanted to be first so put a banner before confirming it and writing an article.

But geez what's up with the madness people. In an hour you will know if it's an eruption or just clouds passing by.

Okay, I'm not that good at this, but here is what I got:

Dutch website confirmes it: Google translation:

AMSTERDAM - - In the south of Iceland, a volcano erupted again on Monday.

The Icelandic national television transmit live images of the Hekla volcano, which much smoke to see.

Hekla is Iceland's largest and most famous volcano. The volcano is 1491 meters high and shaped chain. It is the most active volcano on the island. The last eruption was in 2000.

Am looking at a picture stamped 17:22 (3 minutes ago) and it's clear.

Also I did get through to the streaming cam briefly and saw sunny skies and puffy white clouds.
