It's Futile Saving Grindavik, Iceland Fagradalsfjall Litli-Hrútur Volcano Eruption, Magma, Rift
https://youtu.be/e0UWT0dFSQE?si=Gqfcq0BcB3KP_7wc
I have lived in darkness
For all my life, I've been pursued
You'd be afraid if you could feel my pain
And if you could see the things I am able to see
Break me out, break me out
Let me flee
Break me out, break me out
Set me free
I hail from the dark side
For all my life, I've been besieged
You'd be scared living with my despair
And if you could feel the things, I am able to feel
Break me out, break me out
Let me flee
Break me out, break me out
Set me free
Break me out, break me out
Let me flee
Break me out, break me out
Set me free
Save me from the dark side
Break me out, break me out
Set me free

New Hazard Map Extends Danger Zone, Iceland Grindavik Hagafell Fagradalsfjall Litli-Hrútur Volcano
The Icelandic Meteorological Office has updated the hazard assessment map for the area around Grindavík and Svartsengi.With the new map, the danger zone is expanded from what it was before.
The announcement states that the map is based on new satellite images of Svartsengi and the magma tunnel, together with data that was discussed this morning with civil protection, experts from the Meteorological Office and the University of Iceland.
There are three danger zones as can be seen on the map above.
In the announcement, it is stated that the public defense and the police chief in Suðurnes have taken the map into consideration in planning for the area.

Svartsengi Magma Rising Fast, Iceland Fagradalsfjall Litli-Hrútur Volcano Eruption, Blue Lagoon
Land at Svartsengi is now rising much faster than it did before the earthquake on November 10, or about 5.5 times faster.Then the inflow of magma is about ten times more.
This is what volcanologist Þorvaldur Þórðarson says in an interview with mbl.is.
"The flow of magma into this storage chamber, which is 4.5 kilometers deep, is 8 to 10 times more than what people were talking about before November 10.Back then it was between 5 and 7 cubic meters per second, but now it's around 50 cubic meters per second," says Þorvaldur.
The country is resilient following the events of November 10, when the magma ran under Grindavíkurveg and east under Sundhnúka crater.
"The country is therefore rising much faster now.This goes hand in hand as the magma is creating space and lifting the surface of the earth up," says Þorvaldur.
Svartsengi regains its former position
If this pace continues, Þorvaldur believes that Svartsengi will have reached its previous position in 5 to 15 days.
"What will happen then, it is difficult to say.We can have a soda, we can have a repeat of November 10 or just something completely new."
Is the chance of an eruption in this area increasing?
"I think the chances are always getting bigger and bigger of an eruption on the northern side of the Sundhnúka series or then in Illahrauni.I think the probability of an eruption there is increasing because of the land giant that is there."

Magma Is Trapped, Tremors Reversed, Iceland Grindavik Fagradalsfjall Litli-Hrútur Volcano Eruption
Þorvaldur Þórðarson, professor of volcanology at the University of Iceland, says there is a possibility that magma has also emerged from a deeper storage chamber below the ledge with the movements that have occurred on the Reykjanes Peninsula in the last few days and weeks.
"More straight up then," he says, adding that the ledge then went off and partially emptied in connection with it. Þorvalður says in an interview with mbl.is that he actually thinks it is very likely.
A journalist asks Þorvald more about the sea he mentions and what could be there on the trip.He says that the bedrock beneath the surface on the Reykjanes Peninsula is very layered.
"There are a variety of rock types there.We have lava layers, tuff and sedimentary layers.This diversity means that when something is going up, it passes from one stratum to another, and each stratum has different properties.It can affect the magma's loft.The specific gravity of the sedimentary layers, for example, is much lower than the specific gravity of the lava layers.The sediments can sometimes act as a bit of a trap."
Þorvalður then says that the previous eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula simply had enough power to get through.
What happens if the new fissure fills with magma without magma breaking up to the surface?
"If magma continues to flow up from the deeper reservoir and into this shallow shelf, then the process we were in before could be repeated."
If we have received a relatively large magma insert from the lower chamber, which then forms the passage, and the magma in the shelf is added there as well, then we can even get a repeat of that later or in two to three weeks," says Þorvaldur.

CelestronNexstar 5SE Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope, Starbtight XLT
In making this video I have used these optical instruments:
CelestronNexstar 5SE Schmidt Cassegrain with Starbtight XLT coating.
Televue Panoptic 24mm 68 degree eyepiece.
SkyTee-2 Alt Azimuth mount.
Huawei P30 Pro mobile phone camera.
The Celestron 5″ SCT Schmit Cassegrain OTA C5 is Perfect and comes in these versions:
SLT grey , Astro-Fi black, Evolution silver, SE orange.
Construction & StarBright multi-coated optics are identical in all.
It is a good travel scope given the small size and could be a better scope for viewing planets than a 90mm f/10 refractor or 130mm f/5 newtonian.
