Volcanologist: Previous eruption assumptions no longer hold


After a few hours on #Iceland’s roads, the landscape leaves its fingerprint on the white car body. It almost mirrors the rugged terrain itself.

Vor mehr als 20 Jahren hatte ich in Island mal eine Postkarte mit diesem Motiv des Malers Erró gekauft. Es heißt "Chairman Mao’s Long Journey, Washington, 2020"

Keine Ahnung, warum mir das ausgerechnet heute wieder eingefallen ist...

Hello Sentinel-2C 👋🛰️

Images from the recently launched #ESA third #Sentinel2 satellite are now available. Some winter wonderland images from #Iceland acquired yesterday over the Northeastern highlands.

After a 10yr pause in negotiations for Iceland to join the EU, Kristrún Frostadóttir (Iceland's PM) has given a pretty strong hint to the FT that she'd like to see a relatively prompt referendum on restarting negotiations & any potential membership driven by economic logic... nothing to do with Trump's recent remarks about the Arctic, of course...

As with the UK possibly (re)joining, there's a lot of work to be done to convince EU members (but in this case perhaps an easier sell?)

Thunderous

This is gorgeous Dynjandi, it's name derived from the #Icelandic "dynja" meaning "thunder".

Situated in Arnarfjörður in the #Westfjords of #Iceland, this wedding veil of water is the topmost of seven drops.
In total, it tumbles down 100m/328ft of mountainside.
The top falls has this lovely shape - 30m/98ft wide at the top and 60m/197ft at the bottom - due to basalt steps in the rock, which slow down the water and aerate it.

A colour photo of a mountainside under a cloudy sky, with sunlight from the right. In the centre of the shot is a waterfall, dropping from near the top of the frame to almost the bottom. The rock around it is brown and grey, and has vegetation on the more horizontal surfaces. The waterfall itself is white right from the top, as the rockface has steps in it which the water is hitting all the way down. It spreads out into a wedge shape, almost a trapezoid. The top of another falls is visible below it.


Listening to Johnny Cash and exploring #Friendica as a #Facebook alternative—tired of social media manipulation. No friends here, maybe one other Icelander.

Lately, I’ve been into #Meshtastic, #Photography, and getting back to #Linux. Also enjoying #HamRadio after getting my license.

I set up a #Zello channel for Meshtastic Iceland—feel free to join! 🔗 https://zello.page/2ahVfUasfF3BSomt6

Paysages Islandais (2)

Petite mise à jour du portfolio Paysages Islandais avec trois nouvelles photos, prises dans le Landmannalaugar au cours du même voyage. Je dépile peu à peu toutes les photos prises à l’époque, cela devrait me prendre encore un peu de temps pour tout finaliser. Peut-être que j’en ferai un recueil [...]

‘Extraordinary longevity’: great whales can live a lot longer than we thought – if we leave them alone

The report comes in the wake of news that Iceland wants to kill more fin whales, the second-largest animal on Earth, and Japan wants to resume hunting them.

Once in a lifetime photo.

Towards the end of a fabulous auroral display, a meteor streaked through my shot.
I was literally dancing with joy!

Early November 2021, near Egilsstaðir in eastern #Iceland.
ISO-800 f/2.8 15 seconds exposure.

A strong auroral display beginning to break up, creating a swirling mass of green loops and spikes in the lower two-thirds of the shot. Above them, the stars are visible, in particular Ursa Major the Plough (Big Dipper) in the top left. The foreground is a silhouette of gentle hills, some trees are visible on the skyline which give scale. Near the centre of the shot, travelling from upper right to lower left, a sputtering fireball is streaking through.


Prolonged northerly winds have created ideal conditions for sea ice between #Iceland and #Greenland

This is a 2-month series of #Sentinel1 extra wide swath images showing drift ice forming and extending its claws towards the #Westfjords

#BlueLagoon parking under lava as night falls. A small service building was destroyed as well.

Visually, the lava appears to have topped the berm; it's unclear if there's any active lava tubes feeding the breach.

#hiking the Fimmvorduhals Trail in Iceland. The glacial river has some 29 waterfalls on offer, all spectacular. Last day of hike was unusually sunny. Just spectacular.
