November 11, 20232 yr BIKF Keflavik is the largest airport in Iceland. The nearby tourist town of Grindavik was evacuated tonight! A volcano under the city might erupt! For years, tourists in expensive Guesthouse hotubs got good views of volcano Live weather tomorrow could be interesting if it blows! Maybe nothing will happen, who knows? 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

Usually some people loosing even life or happiness in life. I will not use flights im in Iceland out of my respect to this horrific situation. Just my way of acting and may differ from others.

December 19, 20232 yr Is that the "seam" they have been talking about? I've never seen anything like that, it's like a long fissure rather than a single "hole". Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB

Neither are the settlements in the vicinity large enough, nor was it going to be a situation where a pyroclastic erruption happens. And on top of that the area was evacuated a month ago. By the way you can see the fissure where the lava is coming from was already there beforehand if you look at the aerials: https://www.google.de/maps/@63.8776653,-22.3851179,4371a,35y,0.94h,9.53t/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu Edited December 19, 20232 yr by Farlis

Yes, rather than a single volcano or caldera, it is a seam now around 2 miles long (3.5km) and possibly still growing. Amazing. I just hope everyone will be alright as I am quite fond of the Icelanders and their culture. Although I wish they hadn't released Bjork on the world. Watching the video of it this morning, it reminded me of an old classic sci-fi film I watched recently called "Crack In The World". Free to watch on YouTube at the moment. I remember watching it as a kid and it scared the hell out of me! Edited December 19, 20232 yr by bobcat999 Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).
