  1. The PIT That isn't the only quarry in the area apparently, they can draw material from other quarries.
  2. Theory. So, for roughly 800 years the cooled lava from the last eruptions held together what could be described as a"zip". Gradually over the years the moving apart of the tectonic plates creates more and more tension until during a series of earthquakes the rock shatters and cracks and releases many hundreds of years worth of movement in one go. For a few weeks magma rises, fills cracks, old lava tubes, and gradually fills up the system, occasionally we see short eruptions. What we see now is that magma/lava attempting to fill the void left behind by the unzipping of the fault. With the pressure released it no longer has a cap, and now just flows out, until a series of cinder cones, and enough weight of cooling lava is deposited on top to start to increase pressure on that flow at that particular point. We could see this happen now across the peninsula at various weak faults fractures where land has collapsed or fractured as part of the pulling apart process, and at times quite lengthy eruptions in long lines like this. This goes on for weeks, months or years until all possible weak spots are "glued up" and it all goes back to sleep for another approximately 800 years. We see many comments which say the magma "pushes" it's way through and parts the fault, this is more like the fault moves apart and the magma comes up to fill the gap. Tension rises, breaks and slides apart, volcanic activity fills and glues the fault together again, cools, tension rises, breaks and slides apart.... Rinse and repeat.
  3. About the only mine in the world that's had a refill
  4. I actually worry that in building those berms they have perhaps set themselves up for problems before long if things don't ease up. If you look at the graphic below it shows the lava field from this eruption. This has in itself now created a natural berm adding height to the topography. If we see an eruption further west it could trap lava along the berm across the top of Grindavik. It won't be able to travel east, it may try to travel west along the berm but I should imagine it would overtop the berm where any is trapped between the northern manmade berm and the lava field.
  5. snowdog They closed the gap where the road went through the recently built berm, good forward planning in having the material ready to close it if needed
  6. Isak delayed again as he has to return to the spot he was first at.
  7. Isak's drone stream to go live any moment.. (stream delayed as Isak moves to a new location.)
  8. Shawn Willsey is streaming live and giving comments LFI multipane stream.. https://www.youtube.com/live/804nPrAUAxg?feature=shared
  9. Nothing over 30°c, I have to work in it. Ideally 24-26°c as that's the best temp I find for hand coach painting.
  10. Fen Wolf I rarely post on there and not always there due to work etc but I'm subscribed to the channel too.
  11. This will now probably carry on for years as part of the cycle of the volcanic activity which appears to occur on the peninsula. I do wonder at what point the authorities have to say OK, enough, Reykjanes Peninsula we have to leave to nature for now. I know there are huge costs involved but it's also costing to try and divert or prevent lava reaching certain areas, all of which may be for nothing in the long run. Some volcanoes elsewhere on the island may be conducive to building defenses, those on long cycle eruptions and once erupted have a fairly long quiet period, but Reykjanes is an area totally broken with fractures and faults across a large area, plus the history of a fairly regular pattern of roughly 800 yrs quiet and then 100-200 of activity. I think now is the time they need to think on abandoning the area, with infrastructure slowly being destroyed, a town which sits on hugely unstable ground, and the power plant unfortunately a little too close to the main activity.
  12. Vortex3929 Only reason I said maybe graphics/memory (shared memory) is because NetWX threads can get extremely graphics heavy with the charts, maps and linked information. I see you have a Samsung Galaxy A22 5g, just had a quick search on it, some people do seem to have problems with memory filling up quick. Do you have an SD card installed? Could move all apps which can run from SD card to that card. One thing I did see, outside shot.. Check this... On your phone... Samsung Internet > Menu (three lines) > Settings > Sites and Downloads > Site Permissions. Make sure Javascript is allowed. Also Cookies, allow all.
  13. Umm, if no one else is having the same problem, and it doesn't appear anyone else at all is, I would say it's device specific rather than code related. Does it happen anywhere else? Check caches are clear, run an optimiser if you have one, then check all is absolutely up to date, both apps and system and fresh reboot. Also, check for unused apps and uninstall them and in settings which apps run in the background which don't need to. This will make sure you are not simply running out of memory. If that doesn't fix and no one else reports the same issue then it maybe faulty memory/graphics in my opinion with the way it's overlaying text.
  14. @Wade People no longer listen. That's probably very true, I call it information overload. Before tv became very popular, most people listened to the news and weather, or read the newspaper. I can remember my grandfather listening to the news every morning and every evening, especially the weather forecast for the following day so he could plan which allotment or garden task he would do next. Even when the number of tv channels increased the news in the evening was a major event, when I was at school we always had the evening news on. Since the advent of the Internet, cable tv, and all sorts of digital distractions, many are now not aware of the current news or weather or are bombarded so much they effectively switch off from it all, desensitised. I do understand in naming a storm makes it eye catching, hopefully people will take note, but the danger is there in that too becoming diluted and eventually ignored especially if its used for non exceptional weather, the resulting storm/damage is less than warned too many times or it has no impact on certain locations even though parts of the system may pass over it.
