Hello all, I was hoping to spend a little more than 12 minutes at Geysir and Strokkur today (August 17), but due to people wanting to stay at Landmannalaugar, and our bus not quite making it across the river at Landmannalaugar when we tried to leave, our time at the small geyser field had to be cut short. I was not able to hear about what Geysir was doing, but I got 2 closed intervals of Strokkur. One of 6 minutes, and another of 4 minutes. The eruption times that I observed were 1850, 1856, and 1900 (Western European Standard Time). The 1850 and 1900 eruptions included a smaller second burst from a low pool. Also of note concerning the volcanoes, the local that has been with me for the past few days said the scientists are considering officially calling an end to the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull. We were able to see small bits of steam rising from the crater as we have been driving in basically a full circle around it the last couple days. The glacier that was on top of the volcano is still black from the ash. Nearby glaciers, namely Solheimajökull has mostly been returned to it's clear ice state following the recent rains they've received on the island. This may not be news to anyone who's been reading anything on Icelandic volcanoes, but from what I understand, the locals are believing that eruptions of Hekla and Katla will take place within the next 10 years, probably. -Ben Hoppe -- I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
