Icelandic Volcano About to Cut Loose?
Ice Age Now ^ | 25 February 2021 | Robert Felix

“Unprecedented,” say experts. Look at the number of earthquakes in the last 48 hours!

Southwestern Iceland was rocked by a series of earthquakes Wednesday. According to geological experts, the epicenter of the main quake was located near Mt. Keilir, roughly 30 km (19 miles) south of the capital Reykjavik.

Experts say shocks from the quake, which registered 5.7 in magnitude, sparked increased volcanic activity, triggering a number of aftershocks registering over 4.0 for hours after the initial quake hit.

“I’ve never experienced or felt so many strong earthquakes in such a short period of time. It’s unusual,” Icelandic Meteorological Office’s (IMO) earthquake hazards coordinator Kristin Jonsdottir told Icelandic public broadcaster RUV.

Experts are used to intense geothermal activity in Iceland but say the amount of rumbling at the moment is unprecedented

Though the region has yet to experience eruptions as a result of the increased activity, the IMO nevertheless raised aviation warnings from green to yellow over the Krysuvik volcano system.

The last eruption to occur in the area was in the 12th century but more recently, the eruption of Iceland’s more southerly Eyjafjallajokull volcano over six days in 2010 caused massive disruption to international air travel, affecting as many as 10 million travelers.

The Reykjanes peninsula, located on a tectonic fault, has been rocked by numerous earthquakes for more than a year.

The apocalypse begins when Jesus opens the first seal of the seven sealed scroll. The redeemed are in Heaven witnessing the event. The great departure has not happened yet, so we are not yet in the Apocalypse. First the Apostasia causes the Body of Christ to stand apart from the world, then the Harpazo whisks us away to meet the Lord in the air. AFTER we stand at the Bema Seat Judgment, then the Lamb takes the scroll to open it and ...

Iceland geology is really interesting. Not only is it a part of the mid-Atlantic spreading center, where the North American tectonic plate is pulling away from the European plate, it also (currently) sits atop a mantle plume, or ‘hot spot’. The two plates, along with the spreading center, are all moving with respect to this hot spot of rising magma.

IMO, yes. I have a long held theory we're about to enter another Ice Age cycle due to the earth's interior heat build up being released, warming the oceans, increasing atmospheric moisture content, increased snowfall, increased volcanic activity (1,000s below the sea for ever one above), SO2 increases, ash increases, all of which reflect sunlight and lowering the earth's average global temperature.

We'll warm back up in about 100k years, tho. So there's that. ;)

The two plates, along with the spreading center, are all moving with respect to this hot spot of rising magma.

This is where I diverge from prevailing convection theory. IMO, up-welling is caused primarily by tidal forces forcing up magma which seeks the least dense (density is a factor of heat, of course) pathway.

I believe "tidal force" is one of the main heat sources, if not the main heat source within the earth, besides residual.

My thinking is tidal forces inside the earth heat the interior, and it builds up over millennials (approximately 100 millennials) until the earth's crust can no longer contain it.

This is why Icelanders have the greenland fermented shark to eat. Just before it erupts you eat some and you will wish you were dead.
