Eyjafjallajökull heeft nu een (tijdelijk?) kratermeer (Pict)

Dit lijkt me een mooi moment voor een update op Weerwoord.

Zie het bericht van de IJslandse meteo dienst met foto van het nog altijd stomende meer. De vulkaan is nog altijd niet helemaal tot rust gekomen met een paar kleine aardbevingen onder de top krater.

Eruption in Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland

A lake has formed in the crater - 11 June 2010 19:00
Scientists flew over Eyjafjallajökull this morning and saw that a lake has formed in the crater. Possibly, some degassing of magma still occurs in a small path located at the western or soutwestern rim of the crater, see brownish veils at the right hand side of the photograph below. Steam rises from the surface of the water, mostly at the northern edge.

Assessment 10 June 2010 16:50
The eruption site has not been visible today.

A few small, shallow earthquakes have been recorded beneath the top crater in the last few days. Deflation of the volcano has been slow and continuous for the last two weeks. A small increase in tremor was observed on Monday evening and higher steam clouds were seen at the same time on a web-camera. The clouds were white and contained little or no ash.

Details in a status report issued collectively by the Icelandic Meteorological Office and the Institute of Earth Sciences today at 15:00. The volcano is still monitored closely.
