Iceland volcano Eyyafyatlayokud. Icelandic volcano paralyzed air communication

In Iceland, after a 200-year-old "hibernation", the volcano Eyyafyatlayokud was woken up. The eruption began on March 21, 2010 and was so powerful that a state of emergency was introduced in the country and hundreds of residents of nearby settlements were evacuated.
On April 14, a new eruption began, accompanied by the release of a huge amount of ash in the atmosphere. The next day, dozens of European countries were forced to fully or partially close their airspaces - in particular, flights were canceled at London airports, Copenhagen and Oslo.

Eyjafjallajokull (Eyjafjallajokull) means the "Island of Mountain glaciers". The volcano is located 200 kilometers east of Reykjavik between the glaciers of Eyafyatlaihokudl and Middalsyokud. These are the largest glacial hats in the south of the North Island country covering the active volcanoes.

Eyyafyatlayokudal volcano is a conical shape glacier, sixth largest in Iceland. The height of the volcano is 1666 meters. The diameter of the crater is 3-4 kilometers, a glacial coating - about 100 square kilometers.

Iceland lies on the Mid-Atlantic Range, where volcanic eruptions often occur. Almost all types of volcanoes found on Earth are presented in this country. Glacial hats and other glaciers occupy an area of \u200b\u200b11,900 square kilometers.

Since many Iceland volcanoes are covered with glaciers, they often adopt them from below. The languages \u200b\u200bof glaciers are broken from their places, the production of millions of tons of water and ice that demolish everything in their path.

It is from these concerns after the breakup of Eyyafyatlayokudil in 2010 in Iceland, such serious security measures were taken. In particular, after his March eruption, the movement on nearby roads and residents were evacuated. Local authorities It was afraid that the volcanic lava will melt the glacier and cause strong floods.

However, after the studies conducted, experts concluded that threats for local residents The eruption does not represent. A few days later, the authorities allowed people to return to their homes.

Volcanologists were able to approach the crater for a distance of several meters and remove the eruption to the camera, they saw that the crack, from which the lava leaves, has a length of about 500 meters. In addition, shooting was conducted from the air. The set was published on the popular Youtube video port.

Icelandic scientists have been observed for a volcano for a long time, tracking signs of seismic activity. In their opinion, the eruption can last about a year or even two. The last eurability of Eyyafyatlaiokudl was registered in 1821. Then it lasted until 1823 and caused a ominous melting of the glacier. In addition, due to the high content in its emissions of fluoride compounds (fluorides), a threat to health was created, namely the bone structure of people and livestock.

If the current eruption will continue the same long, then the airspace over Europe will have to be periodically close and discovering, depending on the activity of the volcano, a professor of Bill McGuire, an expert of the Center for the Study of Natural Cataclysms at the University College London, warns.

In the spring of 2010, the volcano eruption began in Iceland. A huge cloud of ash was thrown into the atmosphere, as a result of which the airspace most of the continent was closed, and many flights were canceled. The photos of the grand spectacle in a huge number went on the Internet, and the name of the volcano - Eyjafjatlajokudl (Eyjafjallajokull, in the translation of the Mountain glaciers) gave rise to a set of jokes (though, mainly in print, not so, just to speak out this word).

Jokes and jokes

Written on the mixture of Icelandic and Norwegian. "Put 30 billion euros in the garbage container at the Embassy of Iceland tonight, then we will turn off the volcano! Do not call the police. "

Mystery name

In response to the actions of Iceland, Greenland begins to write in the ocean
Icebergi.

New swearing: "Euafyadlayukudil to you throughout Europe!"

- I heard Eyafyatlayokyudil came to life?
- Are you sure that not a hwannadalcur?
"Of course, a hwannadalcur near Kawulwafedlsstadyra, and Eyafyatlaijukyudl is closer to Westmannaaeyar, if you go to the side of Sniphedlesokyudla.
- Thank God, and then I have relatives in Brynhowelskiya!
If you have read this dialogue without a knockout - then you are Icelandes.

Speaking: "Eyafyadlayukudle ejaculated, ejaculated, but did not exjuate."

According to Maya's predictions, until all the Europeans learn the word "Eyyafyldekyudle", the volcano will not stop erupt. If it is difficult for you to say it, I propose to remember the phrase: "Hey, I'm drunk, and and a bit with him."

We sat with you by the window, drinking apple strudel. We are already not up to sleep, because Eyafyadlayukudle.

"Eyyafyatlayokud" - how you can call the boat, so she sails.

Leading news programs are in a quiet horror: on rumors to
The eruption of the volcano Eyyafyatlayokud is the nearest can be added and
Pyroclastic flows from the Mexican mountain of a popochpet.

In the spring of 2010 in Iceland, after more than 200 years, the hibernation was activated by a volcano under the Eyafyatlayokud glacier. The first time the volcano made itself felt on March 20, but no serious consequences of the "trial" eruption did not lead. On April 14, he began to erupt again and threw a huge number of ashes into the air, because of which it was necessary to almost completely stop the flight over Europe.

The volcano under the Eyjafjallajokud glacier (Eyjafjallajokull, the correct pronunciation of this word can be heard) does not have its own name, therefore it is customary to call it on the name of the glacier. It wakes up on average once in two hundred years. Over the past millennium, he entered the active phase 4 times, the last - in the interval between 1821 and 1823. No particularly serious destruction of eruptions were turned around, despite the fact that the volcano is located 200 kilometers from the capital of Iceland Reykjavik. In the 19th century, the eruption was limited to the emissions of the ashes, which, however, was sufficiently poisoned due to the high content of fluorine.

The fact that the Icelandic volcano will wake up in the present spring, it became known in 2009, when in the vicinity of the glacier, the seismologists recorded a large amount of weak, magnitude to 3, earthquakes. In early March, more than three thousand earthquakes were recorded at the Eyafyatlayokud glacier, which explicitly testified to the upcoming eruption. On March 20, the volcano woke up finally, the first eruption began.

The power of the eruptions was relatively low: local travel companies Even began to organize helicopter walks to Eyyafyatlayokud. Nevertheless, about 500 farmers were evacuated from the surroundings of the glacier, and local and international flights in Iceland were suspended. By the evening of the next day, when it became known that there was no danger of a woken volcano yet, all emergency measures were canceled, and evacuated citizens later allowed to return home.

Behind the volcano set observation of scientists. Magma continued to flow from faults in a glacier to almost the second major eruption, which occurred on April 14.

If the first in 200 years, the signs of the volcanic activity near Reykjavik took place almost unnoticed, then the second eruption affected the lives of all of Europe. First, it turned out to be about twenty times more powerful first. Secondly, Magma began to erupt not from several faults in different parts of the glacier, but from one crater. The hot rock began to pull the glacier and provoked a small flood in local districts, where the authorities had hurriedly evacuated about a thousand farmers.

Well, the main cause of concern was a huge amount of ash, thrown into an eruption in the atmosphere. The ash cloud rose a height of about 6 -10 kilometers and spread through the territory of Great Britain, Denmark and the Scandinavian countries and the countries of the Baltic region. The appearance of the ashes did not make himself wait in Russia - in the vicinity of St. Petersburg, Murmansk and a number of other cities. On the evening of April 15, it looked like this.

Volcanic ashes very long settles (the cloud after the eruption of the Krakatau volcano is skewed only after the land has bent twice), and is a greater danger of aircraft. In the Central Aero Hydrodynamic Institute named after Zhukovsky, it is noted that the particles of the ashes when entering engines form the so-called glassy "shirts" on the rotor blades and can lead to their stop. Also ashes worsens visibility, negatively affects the sustainability of radio communications and can output onboard electronics. For safety reasons, flights in places of its cluster are prohibited.

The decision to limit the movement of aircraft in Europe was made immediately after the scale of eruptions on the Eyyafyatlayokudel glacier became obvious. Already in the afternoon, all flights other than emergency were canceled in London Heathrow. Then they follow the cancellation and transfer of flights and at other airports throughout Europe. France closed 24 airports, by the evening of Thursday, closed airports in Berlin and Hamburg, and then in other German cities. As the clouds are moved over Europe, there have been all new abolition of flights, including flights through the Atlantic Ocean and even to Australia and New Zealand.

Limited by air traffic in Minsk, Russian Aeroflot canceled about 20 flights to european cities. Khrabrovo Airport in Kaliningrad is completely closed for the reception and departure of aircraft, the same measures have been taken at airports bordering the Kaliningrad Region of Lithuania. In total, about four thousand flights were canceled on Thursday, on Friday, this number can grow to 11 thousand.

Among the victims of flight delays - thousands of tourists stuck in airports and many businessmen, whose plans and business negotiations were torn. Exceptions did not even for the first persons of the states - the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin had to cancel a working trip to Murmansk and stay in Moscow.

Also, under the threat of a breakdown, there remains the visit of the heads of many states to Poland for President Lech Kaczynski, which are scheduled for April 18. Poland's airspace is blocked almost completely from Early morning Friday, only Krakow Airport operates (Polish president will be buried in Krakow Castle), however, in it, most of the flights are canceled or transferred indefinitely. However, the transfer of the duty of the funeral of the deceased as a result of a plane crash under Smolensk Kaczynsky speech does not go.

The last time with such a mass cancellation of Europe flights and the whole world as a whole came across only in 2001, when the aircraft captured by terrorists destroyed the twin towers in New York. Panic then for obvious reasons was much more, as well as fears for the life of passengers.

When everything comes to normal in this case, it is incomprehensible. On the one hand, representatives of the airports are trying not to pump panic and promise to the end of Friday or as a last resort to Saturday, renew flights, on the other - scientists warn that the ashes will affect the air a few more weeks, and even months. According to preliminary data, the airlines will bypass approximately billion dollars.

Rubric: Matrix
Iceland lies on the Mid-Atlantic Range. In Iceland, almost all types of volcanoes occurring on Earth are presented. Actually, the country is one large "volcanland". Icelandic volcanoes overcrowded by magma can emissive much more than their mainland cone brothers. Glacial hats and other glaciers occupy an area of \u200b\u200b11,900 square kilometers.
Eyjafjallajokud's volcano (Eyjafjallajokull), translated - the "Island of Mountain glaciers", is located 200 kilometers east of Reykjavik. The volcano crowds the glacier of the conical shape, the fifth largest in Iceland. Its height is 1666 meters. The diameter of the crater is 3-4 kilometers, a glacial coating - about 100 square kilometers.
The last eruption in the area happened in 1821-1823, and before that in 1612.
Eruption - anger of the earth!
Icelandic volcano Eyafyatlayokud woke up after a 200 year hibernation on March 21 of this year. Stormy eruption of a huge cloud of volcanic ash, raised to a height of 6 km, thanks to sunny weather, started on the night of April 14th.
On Saturday, the 15th, the column of ash was visible over the volcano - a thick dark gray cloud of 8.5 kilometers high. The wind has improved visibility in the area of \u200b\u200bthe resulting eruption, and the specialists have received the opportunity for the first time in the last few days to assess the situation from the air.
The hot magma has changed the course and began to flow under the ground right in the area of \u200b\u200bthe glacier, "Sigorun Hansdottir said to journalists, who, together with his colleagues, from the University of Iceland, watched the activity of the volcano for three recent months. The mixture of magma and ice is explosive, so in the bottom of the crater there are incessant explosions. The peplopad layer is up to 3 cm. Volcanic ash is solid particles of 1 to 1000 microns. Volcano produces poisonous gases, the evaporation of which people may not even notice. Now the volcano highlights sulfur, fluorine, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. The last one has not been smell and is deadly gas.
Thousands of land hectares east of the crater are covered with a thick layer of ash.
While learning what is happening with the Eyafyatlayokudlem, it is impossible in close proximity. Scientific equipment cannot be delivered to the place, as the aspect cloud does not give closer to the crater. It is not known exactly what the volume of the ejected substances enters the atmosphere. During the day, according to experts, approximately four million tons of volcanic substances will be released.
Yet, brave volcanologists were able to approach the crater for a distance of several meters and remove the eruption to the camera. They saw that the crack, from which the lava comes out, has a length of about 500 meters.
The 15th Professor of Geophysics University of Iceland Magnus Tumi Gudmundson noted that the volcano activated its activities.
Scientists will try to fly the crater to find out how much ice melted on it. It depends on this - how long the volcano will explore the ashes. These data provides the Republican Center for Radiation Control and Environmental Monitoring from the London Consultative Center. Information is updated every six hours.
Stormy correspondence began on the Internet - the earth is angry at people and sends them a warning - come home, live peacefully, destroy weapons, stop destroying nature, get rid of uneasy sins of murder, greed and pride!
Airplanes - Threats
Finding into the combustion chamber of the engine, they melt, again frozen in cold parts, which can disrupt the operation of the turbine.
The ash, which is a mixture of particles of glass, sand and rock, is extremely dangerous for aircraft engines, especially jet.
Volcanic ash consists of glass particles of less than 2 millimeters, - explains the airliner Igor Vanenkov. - Particles are very solid. They act on the details as if abrasive. First damage the elements of the compressor. Melted in combustion chambers, clogging them. And further on the turbine blades. Engines as a result can stop. Poblesty, so-called glass substances that are available in ashes are dangerous for working mechanisms.
In addition, a large amount of asset is deposited on the wings and fuselage of the aircraft. The third big danger is that the Icelandic volcano - basalt, with its eruption, a significant amount of sulfur and chlorine is distinguished. Sulfur as a low-melting element when contacting with hot parts of the aircraft in a mixture with ash, forms a mass that can even disrupt the movement of turbine blades.
The trajectory of the movement of volcanic eruptive clouds coincides with the trajectory of air corridors of the aircraft. Therefore, airports were obliged to stop flying, as the situation could lead to failures in the work aircraft, To crash airliners.
If the direction of the wind was Northern, then in general, by and large, no one except experts would notice this eruption.
"This small dust is a very nasty thing," said the BBC professor of the Royal Engineering Academy and the former Chairman of the Royal Society of Aeronautics Stewart John. - It clogs the ventilation holes through which air for cooling is supplied, and the engines are sorry. "
Aircraft - Collapse
An transcontinental transport collapse occurred.
On April 15, due to emissions, a number of countries in the north of Europe were forced to close airports. And it's not by chance. F-18 Hornet fighters of the Finnish Air Force were disabled after a cloud of volcanic ashes and dust, shortly before Europe closed airspace.
Aviakrizis, in the first days, according to the European Commission, touched over 10 million passengers; In the future, this number can grow in geometric progression.
Later closed airports Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Baltic countries and China.
Perspectives
"The eruption may stop tomorrow, but may continue and violate the normal operation of the air transport by a few more weeks or even months, or even years," said Professor Geophysics University of Iceland Magnus Tumi Goodmundson.
Volcano can paralyze half of the earth.
In the Russian World Fund wildlife (WWF) warn that the distribution of the ashes clouds can lead to cold snaps on Earth for two or three years, after which there will be a sharp warming of temperature.
In addition, the particles of ashes suspended in the air interfere with the passage of sunlight to the surface of the Earth, which can strongly affect the future crop, slowing down the growth of plants. But volcanic ash is an excellent fertilizer for soil.
70 thousand years ago In Indonesia, the eruption of the super volcano Toba almost killed then still wild mankind. The ashes-thrown into the air wrapped the entire planet and launched the global cooling process. According to the calculations of scientists, no more than 15 thousand ancestors survived modern man, which laid the foundation of our entire civilization.
Tambo eruptions in Indonesia in 1815 led to a decrease in the average global temperature for 3 degrees Celsius. In the next year and in Europe, and in North America There was no summer, the head of the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) of Russia Alexey Kokorin notes.
A cloud of ash from Volcanana Krakatau, blowing up in 1883, reopening the land twice. And for several years on the whole planet average temperature dropped a few degrees.
The mechanism of "volcanic winter" is: when the concentration of ash particles in the atmosphere is large, they become the screen - reflect the sun rays and do not give them to heat the air.
In this case, another negative factor that is capable of affecting not only Iceland is the appearance of the so-called peplopad, as a result of which the ashes layer can be covered by extensive territories. Weather forecasters predict that the ashes can spread not only to the European part of Russia, including Moscow and St. Petersburg, but further.
Icelandic Geophysicist Einar Kyartansson says: "It is quite possible that the ashes emissions will continue with similar intensity for several days, or even a few weeks. However, the question of whether it will prevent this to transportation, will depend on the weather, from which side the wind will incur be ash"…
Alexey Kokorin is confident that the eruption of the volcano in Iceland slows the rise in temperature in the world, and, immediately for several years, but then a sharp warming will begin. After all, it will not reduce the anthropogenic growth of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere.
Volcano Gekla rebels?
Icelandic volcanologists offered an even more awesome event development option: Eyyafyatlayokudal volcanic activity can wake up a larger volcano located next door. If Eyafyatlaihokudl will be erused even at least a month, it is very likely that his magma will fall into the crater of his "big neighbor" Katla (Katla), which is located somewhat east. "Volcano Katla behaved unusually quietly in recent decades. Therefore, we will not be surprised if there will be an eruption in the near future much more powerful than we see now. This will lead to the present chaos, "said Volcanologist Handottir
Take care of health!
The United Kingdom Ministry of Health recommends citizens not to leave the house - particles of volcanic mud have already begun on the country.
WHO representatives stated that they definitely do not know whether the ashes threatens the health of people. Nevertheless, the representative of WHO David Epstein suggested that microscopic particles of volcanic ashes are potentially dangerous, as there may be problems in people with pulmonary diseases.
Deputy. The director of scientific issues of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences Arkady Tishkov believes that there is nothing terrible in the eruption for Russia. Yes, the volcano emissions entered the atmosphere, and they will affect the climate, and if they fall into the ground in the form of precipitation, then weakly oxidize the rains and cause problems in people with diseases of the respiratory system and digestion. Tishkov says: "Sour rains can fall locally, but there are rains in the capital and with higher acidity." According to Tishkov, if Moscow falls into the zone of volcanic emissions falling, then it is necessary to apply masks and carry out wet cleaning.
Scientists are also afraid that the cloud of volcanic ash, who has already covered Europe and paralyzing flights to a significant part of it, may be dangerous for wildlife. As experts from the Institute of Earth's Sciences at the University of Iceland explained, the cloud contains large concentrations of fluorite - mineral, which is used, in particular, in metallurgy and the chemical industry, as well as in ceramic production. For animals, this substance can be extremely dangerous.

Volcanopsychosis
"Just cloud went to the densely populated territories of Europe, so so much attention to this acting volcano. We had more powerful eruptions of volcanoes in Kamchatka, but such a discussion, there was no such discussion, the emissions of the clouds took place in the incomplete territories or in the oceans, "said Tishkov.
According to Tishkov, what is happening now in Europe cannot be called a panic in the full sense of the word, however, you can already talk about "a certain psychosis".
According to Tishkov, although the volcano, in addition to the ashes, ejects toxic gases - chlorine-containing, sulfur, ammonia gases, but they can only affect the nearest surroundings.
"There should be no apocalyptic sentiment, it is an absolutely ordinary event," said Tishkov. "This is not the most powerful volcano, and emissions were in a relatively low atmosphere layers."
Nude women provoke volcanic eruptions?
One of the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Czech of Sediki said during the traditional Friday prayer in Tehran, that "taking place, vicious apparels give rise to earthquakes, eruptions and other natural cataclysms."
According to the opposition newspaper AFTAB-E YAZD, Sediki said: "Many women dress up, exposing their advantages at the bottom. This leads to the fact that the youth turns out of the way true, marath their chascolism, initiate extramarital sex in society, which leads to an increase in earthquake frequency . Cataclysms are the result of human acts. We do not have a different way out, how to contact Islam to protect against all these misstain
Norwegian pilot believes that there is a paranoia
This is stated in an interview with the Norwegian DaglBladet with an experienced pilot of Norwegian aviation by Pom-Gunnar Stenzvog from Polar Tromso. The pilot with 35 years of experience believes that organizations that closed air traffic over Europe are covered by paranoia and the flights do not threaten anything.
"Often we have" black snow "in the east of Norway from industrial emissions in Germany, but we continue to fly," says Siensvog. The pilot does not see anything terrible and threatening in pollution with volcanic ash.
Finance sing romances
The volcano with a difficult name was the cause of conflicts in travel firms. Travelers require a refund. However, it is most often obtained - sorry, force majeure.
The same opinion is held in Rospotrebnadzor of Russia: the head of the management of consumer protection O. Prussakov confirmed that tourists, whose departure was impossible due to the eruption of the Icelandic volcano, could not require the tour operator to return funds for unused days in hotels, since change Tour time has come due to the oncend of force majeure.
The airline suffered losses worth billions of dollars.
Punch in the economy "Golden Billion"
First of all, world corporations and cartels will suffer, carrying particularly valuable loads for them, the safety of which can most firmly provide for air transportation. Nowhere "Do not go" now weapons, drugs, precursors, raw materials and equipment for them, antiques, money, securities - contracts, shares, bills, etc., electronic media with secret information - the results of state and industrial espionage, secret mail , valuable metals, radioactive materials and instruments listening to equipment, classified chemical materials, including GMOs and biojugavits, different kinds of prestigious luxury items: crocodile leather, ostrich feathers, jewelry, precious stones, collections of fashionable clothes and shoes, fur, high-quality spices, rejuvenating medicines, extremely necessary elderly rulers of the world, exclusive sex toys, expensive prostitutes, agent network, members of the club billionaires, higher persons of states and the like.
The exploitative system of the global economy threatens total collapse.

The fire of fire showed his face.
Icelandic volcano is spent now from the three vent. They contrastly manifested themselves in the picture made in the heat rays, and formed a certain nightmarish physiognomy - whether the devil, or the fire of fire. View from space.

According to the materials of the Internet media
Olga Olenich


Each corner of the world has its own unique attractions, but if we talk about the beautiful northern country of Iceland, there are excellent volcanoes with this role. One of the most meaningful Icelandic volcanic crater is a peak with a difficult-acting name of Eyjafjallajökull (Eyjafjallajökull), which is located in the southern part of the country just 125 km from Reykjavik.

The most interesting thing is that in fact the name Eyafyadlaiokyudl is called a huge glacier under which the most part is the volcano, and the hill itself is unnamed, that is, no official name has. But since the volcano and the glacier almost always speak in a bundle, then over time, in the press, they became the same word in the press.

The glacier under which the volcano is located, is sixth in size in all Iceland - its area is more than 100 square kilometers. The volcanic crater itself has a width of about 3-4 kilometers, and up to the eruption in 2010, its hole was covered with ice. Eyyafyadlayokyudl refers to a variety of panel volcanoes that have a gentle slope, and the height of its cone under the ice is 1660 meters.

Until recently, Volcano Eyyafyadlayokyudl was considered sleeping - earlier his eruptions occurred in 920, 1612 and in the period from 1821 to 1823. But his sudden awakening of 2010 denied this opinion - in April and May Volcano frightened a lot of local Residents, throwing a huge amount of ash in the atmosphere. Because of this event, flights in Europe were even suspended for several days.



Despite the danger that the volcanic eruption carries in itself, this process looks really fascinating: the pillars of smoke, the hot bright lava and the awareness of the power of the might of the earth attract the view of a person like a magnet. Therefore, among the locals and tourists, there are always gravitors who wanted to take a picture of Eyafyadlaiokyudl in action - precisely thanks to them we can see the entire gradation of volcanic eruptions in photos.
