The magma now erupting at SundhnΓΊksgΓ­gar has a K2O/TiO2 ratio resembling that of the magma which erupted in Fagradalsfjall at the beginning of the 2021 eruption. Possible connection at depth between the two volcanic systems? Data will tell πŸŒ‹ Full report⬇️ earthice.hi.is/eruption-sund…

Preliminary geochemical data on the May 2024 eruption πŸŒ‹ The glass composition has a lower K2O/TiO2 ratio compared to previous SundhnΓΊksgΓ­gar eruptions, suggesting that a distinct magma batch, likely stored in a separate mid-crustal reservoir, is currently erupting on the surface

The first helicopter overflight of KΔ«lauea's new SW rift zone eruption site at 6 AM HST on June 3, 2024 showed lava fountaining from 1 km (0.5 mi)-long fissures and volcanic gases blowing downwind. See the latest eruption update & Alert Level changes at usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/v…

Wow! Listen to the sound of the lava as the scientist collects samples. I think we need a new word for lava noise! #Iceland

Congratulations to @OllieBearman Brilliant drive in Jeddah this evening. Kept it on the road, out of the wicked walls, and stayed well in touch with, and ahead of, truly world class drivers. Superb first F1 GP, of many I have no doubt.

Well, yesterday afternoon was exciting to say the least. Magma intruded into the dyke but didn't make it to the surface to erupt. Are we disappointed that we didn't get measurements of the eruption start like we planned? Yes and no 🧡

Heroes one and all!
Wow, the view from the workers building that lava defensive wall a few hours ago: they weee surrounded by molten rock and managed to get out with almost all their vital equipment before the site was subsumed.

Although there’s no good place to have a major quake, Japan is better prepared than almost anywhere: buildings are often made to withstand potent temblors, the public are informed (and experienced), and the emergency services are knowledgable and on the ball.

A few minutes into the #eruption, I’ve gone back and forth to admire the outstanding oblique right-stepping fissure propagation..

A Christmas advert created by a family-run bar in Northern Ireland has gone viral on social media. The manager of Charlie's Bar said she is "overwhelmed" by the reaction to the advert, which highlights how lonely people can feel over the festive period πŸ”— trib.al/7F0awYb

Some social media users are posting old footage of previous volcanic eruptions and suggesting it is connected to the current seismic activity in Reykjanes. As of 1pm GMT on November 11 there has NOT been an eruption - although one may of course follow. Meanwhile, be aware.
