CODE ORANGE: The Risk Of An 'Explosive Subglacial Eruption' In Iceland Just Went Up

"Kelly noted, however, that Bardarbunga sits under 700m of ice, or nearly half a mile's worth, and to break through this an eruption would have to be quite massive. "

Thanks blam...

Isn’t interesting that the various depth ranges given in various reports differ as they do.

There is somewhere between a 100 meters and a half mile of ice -—dah, its a glacier, I would tell them.

What we want to know is the ice thickness above the eruption now underway and the ice melt potential down below that as the above area superheats and causes melt off of the perimeter. Will small coastal villages be swept away — information distribution is not done too well anymore.
