It might blow just in time for winter

Here is the webcam of Katla, to see if anything interesting happening;

Erik Klemetti on the latest seismic activity of Katla.

After the last few days of excitement in Katla, things appear to have quietened down now. Roads have re-opened and life gets back to normal, for now.

The activity prompted the Scientific Advisory Board to issue a statement here, http://www.almannavarnir.is/english/the-scientific-advisory-board-meet-today-because-of-the-seismic-unrest-in-katla/ 

Things could go either way, so still worth keeping an eye on developments.

Yeah, it's the Mirror I realise; but interesting if there's any truth in it- Mount Teide blowing its top. It's the Canaries that are suspected of having an undersea rock shelf that, if displaced, might create a super tsunami.

Isn't it more a case of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma having an unstable geology whereby, in the event of an eruption, there's a danger of a huge slice of the volcano sliding into the atlantic and creating a tsunami?

For a long time, I've thought that it might be a good target for al Qaeda... 

I obviously got the wrong volcano.

Thank goodness it'd take a lot more energy than implied in your thought....wouldn't it?

Like the map Dougie; thanks. We're looking at volcanic regions at school- might use it.

Happy Halloween!

Campi Flegrei near Naples giving cause for concern

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/20/volcano-near-naples-showing-signs-of-reawakening

Its caldera, formed 39,000 years ago, represents the largest eruption in Europe in the last 200 000 years - and 1/2 million people live in it

Bogoslof in the Aleutians has erupted. Ash cloud heading for the Arctic, might affect a few great circle airline routes, might (dare I mention it here?) affect ice melt next spring

Interesting little video on the BBC site today of Kilauea eruption hitting the sea:-

And a small eruption from Etna last night.

But it looks quiet again this morning.

Worth looking at Mount Etna right now as it's erupting.

http://icelandreview.com/news/2017/07/27/earthquake-katla-no-cause-concern has details.

Also on same page, if you scroll down, a story about Rejkavik's highest temp since 2008 (21.6C), recorded 26/7/17. 23.6 also recorded inland  at Thingvellir. This could tie in with the glacial melting said to be responsible for these earthquakes, and the prospect of flooding.

That article is essentially about 2 days out of date for the very latest developments (overnight)

It is possible  the temperatures would have had some impact however I suspect some form of volcanic/geothermal component may be involved due to significant increases in conductivity in the river affected.

There are unconfirmed reports that Popocatepetl has erupted following the earthquake in Mexico.

Trying to check if it is true.

It's being widely reported, but all I can see confirmed is a bit of smoke, which isn't really as sensational as some sites are click-baiting for.

It'd be interesting if it did go full Pinatubo, though...

I have come across this:

https://texasborderbusiness.com/breaking-popocatepetl-volcano-explodes-7-1-magnitude-earthquake-hits-mexico-city/

But the headline (Popocatepetl explodes after earthquake) does nto match the report underneath, which talks about a plume of smoke.

I guess some internet sites put anything in a headline to get the traffic.

Yeah, they got a click from me, too  As did the Express but, once I'd waded through several headlines about Diana (Princess of hearts and whales) and long range weather forecasts for both an Arctic winter and a mild washout winter, it said pretty much the same thing.
