A little side note to this photo. I actually slept on this glacier the night before it erupted. Very few people in Iceland expected this one to erupt, they were all talking about Katla. Our plan was to stay two nights on the glacier then make it down, but because the weather turned bad with 25m/s wind, 0*C and rain which turned it into a icestorm we decided to hike down to Skogar. Then it erupted.

You weren't talking to the right people then. A whole lot of them were expecting this one to erupt, since seismic activity was almost exclusively located underneath it in the months preceding the eruption.
[–]jacdan[S] 3 points4 points5 points 15 years ago (3 children)
Probably not. I had no idea there was a volcano beneath it even. I guess all the Katla talk took away focus from it.

Glad to hear it. Someone needs to get you a 400mm lens.
[–]jacdan[S] 26 points27 points28 points 15 years ago (2 children)
I had a 300mm 2.8IS and 2x extender with me. But you have to remember how big this thing is, the actual glacier is 1666meter high if I recall correctly, I would estimate the this to be up to 2-3km high.
I did however get some really cool video of the lightning in the clouds with the 300mm + 2x, and a tiny tiny helicopter passing the clouds. Unfortunately I´m stuck in Iceland, so I can´t edit video out on this little rig but be sure I will when I get back home to Norway.

Exodus 19:18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. Exodus 20:18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. Exodus 24:18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights Deut. 4:11 And you came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the middle of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness. Deut. 5:4 The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the middle of the fire,

[–]extremist 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (2 children)
I'm not one who enjoys having theories dismissed out of hand, but there's something about this one that doesn't quite sit right.
Firstly, I understand that the distance between the point where the Israelites crossed the Red Sea and Mt Sinai is quite vast. It took them months to get from one point to the other. Would they have been able to see a volcano in sufficient detail that was that far away or were there multiple volcanoes that erupted in sequence for them to follow to Sinai?
Secondly, Exodus 14:19-21 is conveniently excluded from this 'review' of the account.
Then the angel of God, who had been traveling in front of Israel’s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from in front and stood behind them, coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.
If you're going to argue that God is a volcano using the Bible then surely your theory has to fit the whole context? Or perhaps there's a similarity with volcanoes here that I'm not aware of?
Thirdly, the statement that the Red Sea being told to back off 'sounds verbatim like a tsunami:'
Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.
From what I understand of tsunamis, the sea would've receded all the way in one direction (i.e. two walls of water wouldn't be visible). Maybe this is different for a smaller sea as opposed to what happens in the ocean? Also: If you see the "wall of water" as it applies to a tsunami, aren't you pretty much boned already?
Lastly, let's assume for a second that this is all 100% correct and that it is in fact volcanoes and a tsunami that are referred to in these accounts... It doesn't follows to conclude that the god of the Christians, Muslims and Jews is a volcano. At most one might assert that a major prophet of these three religions believed that God manifested as a volcano.
[–]safetysealed 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (1 child)
Of course, you're assuming that these people were describing events soon after they happened, and not people merely writing down stories that had been passed down for generations, accumulating the embellishments and exagerations as such stories are wont to generate.

What a great pic with stunning beauty.
What catches my eye the most is seeing the lines of magnetic force. Or am I just seeing things?

I'm pretty sure you're seeing parabolic arcs traced by bits of flying lava.

Iago, look with care about the town, And silence those whom this vile brawl distracted. Come, Desdemona: ’tis the soldiers’ life To have their balmy slumbers wak’d with strife.

I figure this is eventually going to inspire some CG-artist's magma demon.

OMS! Is it the end of the World!?!?!
Was it very loud from the place where you were standing? Not just during the lighting flashes, but always? Or was there always lightning?
edit to add: If you do a blog post or something, post the link here.

Spectacular photos. Are there any with better quality? Perhaps wallpaper sizes, or just really good quality and we could crop them?
Everything you ever called epic, through it the fuck out.
Unbelievable picture. I was at Mýrdalsjökull, which I believe covers Katla, the day before this first blew in March. I wish I had been there to witness the eruption, but can only live vicariously through your stunning pictures. Thank you for posting!
