Icelandic volcano continues to quieten down

eyjafjall2-littleActivity at South Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano last night is described as ‘gentle’ and the current force of the eruption is barely 20 percent of its peak. All indications suggest that the volcano is only now erupting from one of its three craters.

Visir.is reports that some ash has still been falling near the glacier, but that it is in vastly reduced quantities. Earth scientists are careful not to call the end of the eruption too early, however – and all are currently saying it could intensify again.

    Just wanting to let you guys know that we are all thinking of you and hoping that things improve soon.

    So often the news talks about how the eruption effects others, like Britain or Europe, or air traffic.

    Please be assured your people are in the world’s thoughts.

    Consider your source Ajax, what would the Icelandic government have to gain from deliberately erupting a volcano on their own soil?? Even if it were possible, it’s an absolutley ridiculous assumption!
