Impatience
Jul. 9th, 2023 01:55 pmI was promised an imminent volcanic eruption! Where is it? I want it this weekend, not tomorrow when I'm busy at work.
Magma is rising near Fagradalsfjall, on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland, near the scene of the 2022 and 2021 eruptions that provided a safe* and enjoyable volcano tourism spectacle for those lucky enough to be there. The earthquakes have been revving up and it looks very probable that something similar is about to happen again. The webcams are up, the liveblog is posting, the police are working out the best spectator footpath, and the lava is supposed to break the surface soon, but it hasn't yet. Get on with it, Iceland!

*Well, as long as you aren't foreign tourists unfamiliar with the terrain who take your kids there with insufficient food and drink and inadequate clothing, leading to a row in parliament as to whether children should be banned.
