BARDARBUNGA UPDATE: Tourists were evacuated from around Icelands Bardarbunga volcano, as seismic activity has increased in the area. The possibility of the volcano waking up has evoked memories of the 2010 aviation chaos, caused by another eruption in Iceland. Seismic activity in the Bardarbunga vicinity has not been decreasing, the Icelandic Meteorological Office reported on Thursday. “The highest magnitude during the last 24 hours was about 3.8, measured at 23:38 last night (20th August)”, the agency’s statement said. There were around 1,000 small earthquakes detected in the area Wednesday that prompted the evacuation of about 300 tourists. “The area is now closed and has been evacuated,” Icelands Civil Protection Authority said on its website. “These actions were taken following seismic activity around the Bardarbunga caldera in the last few days.” Latest from RT: rt/news/181832-tourists-evacuated-iceland-volcano/ FYI - Thursday 21.08.2014 23:50:20 64.620 -17.459 4.3 km 4.7 99.0 4.0 km SE of Bárðarbunga Iceland drumplot (similar to isthisthingon for YSNP): hraun.vedur.is/ja/drumplot/mapDRUM.php Here is a stunning vid of the Eyjafjallajokull eruption in Iceland 2010: Eyjafjallajokull eruption in Iceland 2010: vimeo/10811583
