http://www.vedur.is/skjalftar-og-eldgos/jardskjalftar/reykjanesskagi

so I hope its not gonna be more strong ones , the last one was little over 4 on richter scale , but its more on the map where you see
the green stars , well there is only 2 to 4 km down to magma so
it could end up with a eruption with lava.....so we cross our fingers now .

all the best Skarpi

Spooky. Talking to Chris Foster and Bára Grímsdóttir about Icelandic volcanoes and earthquakes last night. Some of Bára's stories were terrifying.

They are on their way to Abergavenny at the moment. I wonder if they know.

Well , when I was nine I had to go away from Vestmann Island 1973 , I lost everything , house and all things I had . the fault opened 500 mtr from my home and the eruption started , so I know what it is to loose everything . THeSnail , Bára lived in Vestmann Island just like me .

I learned to respect mother earth , she does kick you know ...so treat her well folks , you ´ll never know where she kick up next time .

Mary yes we are okei , there is mabe 40 km to the spot where this is happening so its not far way but far enough to know that we are gonna be ok .

all the best Skarpi

The "Ol' Ball of Clay" as my father called Mother Earth, does have a way of kicking up, as you've said Skarpi. May she not kick too much in your direction and may all whom you know and love be safe, including yourself.

hahahaha Sorcha , there is no way we can made earthquake in 4 or more on richter , the man made earthquakes are made there the power plant is on Hellisheiði , where this is going on there is no power plant , and Sorcha I am not in denial ....:O)so we even make the magma come up as Sorcha ?? no there is only 2 km down to the magma Sorcha , and there
is a change that the magma will come up this time Sorcha ...and its not made by man and either is Eyjafjalla jölull or VAtnajökull the there is crowing fast and there are more earthquakes ..
So Sorcha don´t tell me what is man made or not I watch this every day I live only few km from a volcano ...and there a lot of faults near by home .

A GOOGLE search brings up several reports about the recent spate of quakes including the man made ones created by pumping cold water into the ground. All reports clearly state that although geologists were able to track the man made quakes, they were not large enough to be felt in homes around the area.
Sorch is an expert on denial, Skarpi. You are not. Listen to those who are concerned about your well being and stay observant and safe.
Katla is just about due to make herself known I believe.
Iceland's beauty depends upon Mother Nature's occasional hissyfits.

And I'm currently at a hotel at the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone, in the middle of the Yellowstone Supervolcano Caldera. Like Skarpi, we who live in this area live with volcanoes and earthquakes every day...you can't worry about it because if she blows there's not much you're going to be able to do about it. When, not if, Yellowstone blows it's going to kill agriculture worldwide for a generation and probably cover 1/3 of the US with ash. Of course, it all depends on the magnitude of the blow-off.

Skarpi, keep your get-away kit handy and you know, this is all Iceland needs on top of the economic mess.

You sure you don't want to come live here?

Skarpi, on the TV there was a guy in Christchurch who calms his kids in the aftershocks of this nasty lot they are enduring. He tells them it is just the earth farting. The kids are delighted and run around shouting "The Earth if farting, the Earth is farting..."

I remember a time i saw an eruption of a volcano and an earthquake, too in the Caribbean...Montserrat Island...this was also acompanied by tidal waves.....so you would not be immune from such phenominon in the Caribbean.

I was reading on an Iceland site how parrots are very agitated - a common sign of upcoming quakes and eruptions.
Katla has a history of going off about two years after the EIK... volcano.
Counting down.

Earthquakes in Arkansas have been linked to fracking operations, now temporarily closed down. Hawaii is having some spectacular eruptions. Always something...

The state of Maine is shaking and making gun shot like sounds as thousands of mini surface quakes are going off. This is supposedly due to the crust spring back from the 2 miles of ice that pressed down on Maine just 12,000 years ago.



Why a bit more quakes than usual? Why is Mars and even Jupiter and Saturn on a warming trend? Why is the general wierdness factor seemingly going up?

You know how the galaxy is like a spiraled disk? The Solar system rotates around the Milky Way in a tilted orbit that goes slightly above the disk to slightly below every52 million years or so.

Right now we have come from "below" into the region which is level with the most averaged mass in the outer spiral disk.
In other words we are in the thick of it.

Be it ordinary matter or hyperdimensional dark matter or something else the whole solar system is now going through and somehow interacting with more "stuff" than we usually do.

THis might just be enough to loosen tectonic plates or add a bit more gravity to interact with the Earth.

This is purely my own speculation but it seems pure enough to be true.

In another 100 years or so we will all be on the up side of the Milky Way orbit and things will settle down a bit.


note:

If you are not here 100 years from now you probably just missed the immortality gene therapy and growth hormone regeime that will bring the rest of us back to an average vitality of a 42 year old person.

You will have to be no older than 52 today and live into your 80's to be around to benefit from the future immortality treatments, which only lasts an average of 200 to 300 years to your normal life expectancy. Nothin lasts forever.
