RadarVirtuel shows where the cloud is.
Luckily its blown around the most of the UK.

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

I do hope it stays away.

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

it is back will probably make B.A.s strikes look a bit sick.:D

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

It'll certainly throw a cloud over it cashy:D

Icelandic volcano 'set to erupt' - Telegraph

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

who knows? the volcano expert says "Only Time Will Tell" so its que sera as far as i'm concerned. am flying in 4 weeks n i'll take it as or if it comes.:)

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Bad news for burglars as well then.

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Could be worse. A whole bunch of folks in Malawi could be farting into the wind in order to cover up the noxious odours and avoid the law. This polluted air mass could be on its way to Britain.:eek::eek::eek:

ah well it happening again ...

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

It now looks as though this eruption is quietening down considerably.
In the first 24 hours it spewed out more ash than the eruption last year did in 40 days.
This is the biggest eruption for more than 50 years.
The Grímsvötn Eruption let Out More Ash in One Day than Eyjafjallajökull

Note that this is not the volcano that they were saying could erupt because of the one last year.
:eek:

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Different types of ash. This ash isn't as fine so it is falling from the skies faster than the ash last year.

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Is that in the same vein as the snow which closed railway lines a few years ago, the wrong type of snow;)

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Hate to disagree Jay, but jet aircraft don't have air filters and as they have very big air scoops on the front of the engine they are very susceptible to foreign object damage even heavy ash

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Can't you use a pair of Hattie Jacques's old stockings, and rig them up to filter out the ash?

Come on, show a bit of initiative.

:D

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

To be fair, we had not thought of that one, though we had thought of turning the engines off when we encounter a ash cloud.

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Now that's a good idea not only is it eco friendly (which would please the tree huggers) but think of the fuel that would be saved:D

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

A little bit off topic but my hippy friends are weird. They actually fly abroad to go to environmental campaigns in other countries. Maybe I'm missing the point of that but it seems to me that the hippies add to the climate change just as much as ordinary travellers. And most of them take drugs that they probably don't know the original source of as well. Hippies are a bunch of hypocrites.

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Quite right, Blazey! Thought so myself back in 1967.

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Peace brother:D

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Not until they open them toilets back up again ! :rolleyes:

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

That little volcano caused havoc - it's big brother next door is 'getting up steam'.

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

These earthquakes have been going on all year. They didn’t bother reporting when a main bridge was washed away in July due to a possible small eruption.

Its wobbling because of the high winds today.
Now move along. There is nothing to see here. :(
Well not at the moment.:rolleyes:

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Can't get your link to work, Spider61. Could be me doing something wrong.

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Both links worked for me.

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

The Blue Lagoon looks great.

What time does it close?

I've just grabbed a towel, and some budgie smugglers.

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

:eek:Budgie Smugglers, you'll be putting your own sunscreen on then;):D

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Watching the cam, they're apparently de rigeur.

Not being shy, I'd happily go without.

:D

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Without the Budgie Smugglers or the sunscreen:rolleyes::D

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

The budgie would soon disappear once you get out of that lovely warm water. Air temperature about -1C now:eek:

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

I was in Iceland a week ago, The Blue Lagoon is a lovely place, even when it is raining.
We had a few days there and I had the chance to drive around a bit, seeing a few Glaciers, Volcanoes and even the North American and Eurasian Tectonic plates.
The Icelanders are not too worried about any major eruptions in the near future.

I was so impressed, I am going to take Mrs BG for a few days in the spring.

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Won't she get wrinkled, if she's in there for a few days?

Why not take her to see the other things you saw as well?

:D

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

If you are going to drive into the interior then you are only allowed in some areas after late June (check it out before you choose your time to go).

New Island may be formed soon in the canaries as an underwater volcano, that has been going for a couple of weeks, may break the waters surface.

El Hierro Volcano (Canary Islands) : Red alert – Impressive Jacuzzi sea temperature graphic

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Great Photo -didn't realise there was still so much activity in the Canaries. My parents live on Tenerife - is Teide extinct or just dormant?

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

I'm usually there in November, staying with my best friends, but am going later this year.

Might hang on a bit longer. Check out the attractions on the new island.

:D

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

They may even have some benches for you to sit on! :D:D:D

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

Oh those islands are overrun with many welcoming benches.

So many, it wouldn't suprise me if they call any newly formed island La Isla de Bancos.

...and the best thing is, unlike all the mythical towns which surround Accrington, all the benches are free to park your arse on.

:rolleyes:;):D

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

El Hierro
Still no new island but there are now some webcams.
http://earthquake-report.com/2011/11/12/32535/

Don’t get excited as there is very little to see, except a slightly different colouring of the water.
This could change at any time as there was bubbling there a few days ago.
Then again it cold stop completely.
