Volcano Watch 2014

a reply to: Moshpet

good luck with the roof, that is what I do for a job, but a bit far away to help

web cam 2 has been moved again!
seems a lower quality image right since this started, maybe its a smaller/older/cheaper/more mobile camera

Now includes R2D2 (marked with finger), steam rising from the lava flow/river to the left
If they really tried they could reposition the camera and if it was better quality you could stitch image of cam 1 to the left of image from cam2 and get a more panoramic view of the whole area



right click, "view image" for bigger picture

thankd for the update. could not figure for the life of me why all i was seeing was black. guess both 1 and 2 were moved

Are they that strapped for cash that they can only provide two cams.

The quality does not seem to be anything to write home about.

Are they moving them to avoid losing them and if so, they must be expecting something damn big to happen.

I can understand their servers being overloaded but I can't get my head around just two cams.

On the other hand, do they have more than two cams and rather than shifting them, are they just giving us feeds from some of the others and if so, what do they have to hide.

It just does not make sense. One would think that they would want to give us the best most exciting stuff as opposed to the latest move that is simply terrible.

P

ok cam 2 can pan so it can view things either side and zoom in and out so it wasn't moved. It can also be set into a loop of panning which it did a few weeks ago.
It just got very foggy/ wind direction causing plume to go into camera / at night so that is why the cams looked like they might of been down.

When u post 2 spam that cam 2 can pan can result in an ban, man




Im sorry i couldn't resist, carry on.

An interesting quote from vol­ca­nol­o­gist Ármann Höskulds­son at the In­sti­tute of Earth Sci­ences:

"The odds that a fresh erup­tion will take place are 99.9 per­cent. This is only the be­gin­ning,"

Asked if a fresh erup­tion could take place in Bárðar­bunga or Dyn­gju­jökull which are cov­ered with a thick ice­cap he says that could very well hap­pen. The cur­rent abat­ing of the erup­tion in Holuhraun is far from mark an end to the seis­mic ac­tiv­ity in the area ac­cord­ing to him.

"That only means that an­other erup­tion will hap­pen per­haps in two days or three weeks or some­thing like that. The magma is still pour­ing into the sys­tem and the only ques­tion is where it will come up next,".

Yes Iceland just keeps on gushing…

That" Holuraun Eruption" video from your link is just intense
I tried to embed it but does not work like the youtube embed, it is vimeo.

Worth a look:

Great pics !

And thanks to the rest of you guys for keeping an eye on things. I can`t keep a eye on everything (got my eyes on other stuff), but thanks to you guys I can keep an half eye to it...keep it up !

I try to do my best. but if the "Cloud" is broken there is nothing to see.
Recently I changed from Dropbox to Google Drive to save my images and KMl files ( that make the maps) but this morning I get this

403. That’s an error.
We're sorry, but you do not have access to this page. That’s all we know.

I can't see any maps or images on my blogs that have the files on Google Drive

"That’s all we know." ??????
Well sorry, that is not good enough!.
Goodbye Google Drive

At least ATS still works

That’s all we know. Is that like politically correct way of saying kiss our microprocessor?

the caldera is rumbling again. 3 good size ones in the last 2 hrs. 3.2, 4.1 and 3.5. A while back it was discussed that one of the icelands guys said it would take like a 6.0 to crack it and it was a very large amount of 5's to eqaul a 6.0

What volcanoes are you referring to? I don't think anything has happened that hasn't been happening already? I think Bob's messing with you.

Volcano Mayon

Soft Eruption has intensified

www.philstar.com...

From the Manila Bulletin
“Increased restiveness was recorded overnight, including 270 incidents of lava fragments and super-hot boulders rolling down from Mayon’s crater – nearly four times the number recorded the previous day. Some reached the upper portion of the Bonga gully on the volcano’s southeastern side, indicating that the lava dome has breached that side of the crater. The number of low-frequency volcanic earthquakes also increased.”
“Mayor Herbie Aguas said his farming town of Santo Domingo, among the closest to the volcano, has a frightening legacy from Mayon. The volcano nearly wiped out the municipality’s entire population in an 1897 eruption with pyroclastic flows — superheated gas and volcanic debris that race down the slopes at high speeds, vaporizing everything in their path.”

“Villagers living near the volcano have erected huge white crosses at the entrance of their neighborhoods, hoping they will protect them from harm.”
