Increased Activity in the Enormous Katla Volcano in Iceland

A level of uncertainty was declared by Katla volcano and the aviation warning code was raised to code yellow last Thursday but things seem to be cooling down again. It is however interesting that Katla has even doing this quite often recently so what is this old and dangerous volcano trying to tell us? The last eruption occurred in 1918.

I wonder if there would be a chance you reaching out to Valur Grettisson, former presenter of The Reykjavík Grapevine, for a collab? My impression is, you both would form an incredible combination to show what's going on in Iceland. I hear he's now engaged with the Red Cross of Iceland.

[@helmutrausch336]

Yes Yalur will be an interessant combination together with you 😊

[@AudriannaB-World-Peace]

I really miss Valur and Polly....The Reykjavik Grapevine has no interest for me anymore...just substandard now. It would be nice for Gylfi to collab with him for sure. What a great team.. but Gylfis camper and ideas are his own and he is fully capable of showing us some amazing footage all by himself.

[@JustIcelandic]

Iv'e actually thought about this, the grapvine is not what is used to be and he's obviously missed

[@EverydayRoadster]

@@AudriannaB-World-Peace Absolutely agree, just that sometimes more than the double can be created when the right two people join forces. That was my idea thinking back on the presentations from both Gylfi and Valur over the last time when they both reported individually.

[@ddkapps]

That is so cool that you're building a Volcano Intercept Vehicle! As a stormchaser here in the USA I've seen up close and even been inside several of the custom-made vehicles built to withstand a direct hit by a tornado, and I would imagine this is not all that different. You're going to need something heavily reinforced for rough terrain, with either a dash mounted camera or a camera turret or both, and some kind of protection device similar to a chasers' hail screen to protect the windshield against ash and ejecta... And don't forget you'll need plenty of space for the drones and photo equipment. It's going to be expensive, especially in Iceland, so maybe you should start looking for sponsors ASAP... Or... Just buy any old off-the-shelf beater and simply trust in the volcano gods to protect you, the way I often put my faith in the weather gods. Whatever you do, I'm sure the results will be interesting and entertaining, if not downright stunning, so good luck with any and all of the new ventures.

Thanks as always for the info. I suppose if Katla goes, and keeps going, we might have another aviation problem again in northern Europe. Being in DK I can't help but wonder what, if anything, the effect would be here, considering the direction of winds and possible height the ash plume. I hope I'm right in presuming that most of the prevailing winds go towards the east, away from Iceland and out towards the ocean from Katla?

7:47 - I love your works and respect your opinions, but I cannot disagree more on that. Iceland has basically no light pollution yes, and just in the right latitude for the aurora. But the Icelandic weather is around 54% of the days are cloudy, and it is even worse during the time when you can actually have darkness, in the winter you have around the days two third with clouds. Which makes Iceland a less favorable place for that purpose, but Anyway, I am looking forward of your astro-photos as well. ps.: If you want a good place for this, on the Northen hemisphere: Hawaii, Mauna Kea; on the Southern hemisphere: Chile Atacama desert - which considered the all over best, has only around 10 days with significant cloud-cover over the area.
