Volcano in Eyjafjallajokull

We sure need to respect Mother Nature!

The volcano in Eyjafjallajokull started erupting a few days ago. About 400 people were evacuated and no one got hurt (except for a drunk couple who decided to flee in their car. Their journey ended on a bridge post but they're okay Last time Eyjafjallajokull erupted it lasted for two years (1821 - 1823) but there is no way of telling how long this one will last.

You can see a streaming video of the eruption here:

Holy crap!!! Thats amazing!!!
Thanks for the video!

Amazing!

I've always found volcanic eruptions to be both beautiful and terrifying.

Some things that are so destructive are also so beautiful, this was awesome, thanks for sharing.

Very cool!!!

I was freaking when I saw the guy get so close. DS loved the video. He stopped playing with his toys to watch.

what is it doing?

It gives me a choice (browse) of where to download, and none of the options I've chosen (windows media, real player, etc) will work.

It's okay though, I just went to youtube and watched it there.

Wow! That's so impressive. I love the intensity of the colours.

I dont understand the title of this thread though

Kinda wish Sesselja would come online and tell us how to pronounce the name of that volcano. I think I sprained my tongue.

LOL Jan, yeah try saying that ten times fast! I can't even say it once.

Wow!
I love watching volcanic eruptions...from a safe distance, preferably a continent or so away, but I love it nonetheless. It's just so fascinating to watch something like that

...I'll admit I thought the name in the title was a typo when I first read it, though. I can't even begin to guess how one would pronounce that.

yeah, that icelandic is something, on paper, isn't it? I just watched a couple you tube videos on "simple phrases in icleandic".

The language sounds foreign of course, but not as strange as the spelling would lead one to think!
