🇮🇸 🌋 🧊 Grímsvötn 🟩

I just refreshed the earthquake page - there was a new text .....

A jökulhlaup takes place at Grímsvötn .... Anyone who knows this problem will be a little worried - if the lake empties, the pressure on the magma chamber will be released and an eruption COULD occur ....

🇮🇸 🌋 🧊 Mýrdalsjökull / Katla 🟩

8.3 km north of Hábunga, there was another M 2.6 earthquake at a depth of 100 m. This, like the M 3.0, was in the area of ​​water cauldrons 13 and 14. Due to the "50:50 chance" that this is not just a preparation for the next jökulhlaup ....

We then studied the foreland landscape of Gigjökull, a northern outlet of Eyjafjallajökull near Þórsmörk.

One of my favorite earth science words is jökulhlaup. It’s an outburst flood from a melting glacier.

Wait, is a jökulhlaup just called jökulhlaup in English??

jökulhlaup: cool word, fun to say, has an umlaut so it's metal, descriptive because jökul = glacier and hlaup = flood, and also the onomatopoeia. Hlaup sounds like someone vomiting!

GLOF = acronym, jargon, spell checkers mistake it for golf, extra dorky if you pronounce it "gloff"

We probably have another eruption already, but it's not where we were expecting, but under a glacier so we will probably just have a lot of meltwater run off, or what we like to call a jökulhlaup.

I've had cats named Argle Bargle, Asparagus, Opossum Baby, Tsunami, Virvelvind, Typhoon, Jokulhlaup, Haboob (wind and water events), Herbert, Sherbert, Zerbert, Derbert (strays that adopted our yard), and Terry. These are their Christian names--they were called long "e" shortenings of some sort.

She was going to Iceland, I told her to not walk on the glacier of Grimsvotn because you have a jökulhlaup possibility and she would die

But so fucked up in the head you people are, he told her to ignore me

Volcanologist didn't though

But what do I know? According to you all experts are wrong

🌊The jökulhlaup is expected to be minor, originating from Skeiðarjökull and flowing into Gígjukvísl. Though small, this event is closely monitored due to its potential implications. #jökulhlaup #iceland

9/ ... which are glacial outburst floods, sudden megafloods caused by eruptions underneath ice caps, which can wash away roads & bridges like childs' toys. Not to too fine a point on it, but the entire canyon Ásbyrgi (by Jökulsárgljúfur) was carved by just a handful of jökulhlaup in the past 10k yr.

Some people use the word jökulhlaup to describe all kinds of glacial floods, while others say jökulhlaup only describes the volcanic subglacial lake kind. I tend toward the latter and use GLOF to describe the more general category, but I'm not strict about how others use the terms!

I was just wondering whether I should tell you about the small glacier run ( Jökulhlaup ) in the S of Iceland from Leirá and Skálm ( eastern Mýrdalsjökull ). In doing so I found this little earthquake party on Kleifarvatn

🇮🇸 🌋 🧊 🌊 Langjökull 🟩

Good morning, dear ones 👋 🤗 🥰

When I just looked at the water level diagram, I thought there had been a second flood wave during the jökulhlaup. This happens when there are multiple chambers/areas.
But the experts from the IMO suspect an obstruction in the river - ...

Að lokum þynnast jökulhlaup út, hverfa í kvíslir eða verða straumnum að bráð á hafi úti. Eftir situr farvegurinn og kjarkurinn sem hún gaf til að við getum rutt okkar eigin farvegi.
Landslagið verður aldrei samt. Við munum muna og minnast. Við munum ryðja brautina. Fyrir þig. Vegna þín 💜💜
