Live Video of the Barðarbunga Volcano system which is currently erupting under 600 meters of ice in Iceland. Overnight the eruption has started to become visible above the ice. Barðarbunga Volcano has in the past erupted with intensity of VEI-6 - which makes it capable of eruptions similar to those seen at Mount Pinatubo and Krakatoa. There is no suggestion this kind of activity will be seen during this eruption however - but watching a volcano chew its way through 5-600 meters of solid ice almost over night is still pretty impressive stuff - all that melt water is going to be even more impressive once it finds its way out from under the ice. Certainly something to watch with a certain level of fascination if youre into this kind of stuff.
