the power of nature is unbelieveble

I'm not saying it's not beutiful but I want to point out that Sigur Rós multiplies drama.

The Icelandic Civil Defense network, is established to evacuate up to 5000 people in an immediate time frame of areas in these type events occurring in more populated areas...although sightseers, are not uncommon to be recovered fromt hese areas since the evnet.

winds created from temperature variances, can create microburst winds, updrafts, downdrafts, and windshear .

[jcoden100]

with lightning present in the areas, the volcanic cone, and crater can create its own wind pattern in immediate areas of an eruption, or as in an earthquake, an after shock. Semigraphical data although not included in this photo and video series, are no doubt present in areas, around the volcano when erupting.

the crevaces luckily created, signify future, or near time areas that can be effected, in this fire and ice type event. Ice, and glacial matter, prevented some portions of pumice from reaching higher atmospheric altitudes in part.

To determine, the semi size of the event, mappig of streams off teh flowage end of the glacier, and glacial areas, can be mapped and features recorded to determine amounts of pumice, and pyroclastic build ups like sand bars and partial, temporary hills or topograhical terrain features, usually after exposure to winds, and rain, can change dramatically in short time frames.

Including airborne paltforms, as the helicopter....

Pumice and pyroclastic debris suspended in the ai for extended amounts of time, may be confused with other low and mid level clouds at times by observatory areas.

[jcoden100]

pumice and pyroclastic debris elevated from ground to atmospheric areas, can fuse to fast moving parts of equipment on sea, air,and land causing vital weight balance changes hazardous to persons who may become stranded, injured, or lost in its immediate or vicinity areas.

[jcoden100]

true air quality measurements, although looking clear in these clips may seem clear, after rain or snow showers, further discoloration by pumice and pyroclastic debris cn be noticed collecting at ground stations, landmarks, and reporting points or outposts.

[jcoden100]

Unlike automobiles, aircraft a helicopter intakes are not as tolerant of ashes and pumice from these type geological events. The pumice and pyroclastic materials, are more rone to cause damages, to the components of interior mechanical components in a short time frame. The helicopter in the photo may take hundreds of hours to complete an engineering inspection of its parts to become airworthy just in the short flight we observe here in the video.
