So, Bárðarbunga! Its been a few days. The lava field is huge: youtu.be/zGMHD6-aV34 The flow of lava is also huge, at 250-350 cubic meters per second, and increasing. The pressure in the dike is also increasing. The new lava field is now 2/3 the size of Manhattan Island. Near the craters, its thick enough to completely submerge the Statue of Liberty. Nobody knows what will happen next. Bárðarbungas crater continues to subside. Incidentally, climate change has claimed a victim: the glacier Okjökull has completely disappeared.
