I'm tempted to jump in the car

At about 11.30 on Saturday night some residents in Fljótshlíd noticed that an orange colored stroke appeared behind the glacier Eyjafjallajökull. The area has been under constant surveilance in recent days because of earthquake activiety and it was clear that as feared. An eruption had started. Immediately an evacuation plan was put into effect for the 400 people in the area who were thought to be in danger. The operation was successful and at five o'clock all had been regisered at Hvolsvöllur, where a rescue center was set up.
The ereption is located in Fimmvörduhals, a passager between two glacers, Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull. A popular walking path goes through the area, from Skógafoss in the south to Thórsmörk. Everty summer hvdereds, and perhaps thousands, walk through the area.
Scientists say the eruption seems to be small. It consists of a row of ten paralell strokes. Because the eruption in not under a glacier, the danger is much smaller than it would otherwise have beeen.

Do they cascade much there? (One event setting off two or more other events.)

Don't think so. I think the pressure release makes it less likely that others nearby are going to pop. A good thing because the others nearby are under the glaciers. Makes a big mess when they go off.

I've been a passager in a vehicle near such activiety in the past, and it regisered strongly in my memory that as feared. Ereptions scare me. I've had hvdereds of nightmares about them.

At least this time they were quick enough to save the people in the area.

Basaltic eruptions don't worry me (unless they are under a glacier). They are pretty predictable and safe to be around. Pyroclasic flows scare the shit out of me. Fuck being in this truck

Fucking hell, I hope that's a V-8. At least.

I prefer "lava volcanos" to "explosive volcanos". I lived on Mt. Etna (literally) for three years, and didn't worry about being surprised by a wall of hot ash and gasses. Lava bombs were a concern, but they were also trippy to watch, so they were worth the admission price.

It was found on an archaeological dig. It's amazing the technology they had in Roman times.

I drove right past that glacier a couple of years ago. It's not far from Skógafoss and Seljalandfoss (I navigate by waterfall in Iceland!)
