Der Vulkan am Grimsvötn ist seit dem Abend des 21.05.2011 aktiv!
Durch einen Vulkanausbruch, der ammNachmittag des 21.05.2011 am Grimsvötn begann, wurden einige Vorsichtsmaßnahmen getroffen. Die Hauptstraße, südlich der Eruption, wurde von Kirkjubaejarklaustur im Westen bis Skaftafell im Osten geschlossen. Eine Flugverbotszone wurde mit 120 nautischen Meilen (ca. 200km) um den Ausbruch eingerichtet. Durch den Aschefall im südlich und südöstlich des Ausbruches sind die Menschen aufgerufen, zu Hause zu bleiben und Schutzmasken bzw. Schutzbrillen benutzen.
Der Grimsvötn Vulkan liegt in der Mitte der Eiskappe des Vatnajökull und ist einer der aktivsten Vulkane Islands mit mindestens 60 Eruptionen in den vergangenen 800 Jahren. Der Gletscherlauf im Jahr 2004 war ein Vorläufer für einen Ausbruch der Grimsvötn Caldera. Vorangegangene Ausbrüche des Grimsvötn 1983 und 1998 waren relativ schwach.

Monique (Profil) berichtet direkt aus Geirland bei Kirjubaerjaklaustur von ihren Eindrücken:
23.05.2011 15:17: "Wir sitzen hier im Grunde fest. Vielleicht ist es jetzt, wo es wieder etwas heller wurde, möglich, nach Klaustur zu kommen. Heute Vormittag war es das nicht. Die beiden Fotoreporter haben es versucht und aufgegeben. Es war unmöglich, die Piste zu finden. Sie sagten, sie konnten sich gegenseitig nicht sehen, obwohl sie nur 1 m auseinander standen.".

Offizieller Status-Report vom 24.05.2011, 18:00 Uhr Volcanic plume
The ash plume has reduced considerably since the beginning of the eruption. The estimated height of the plume is 2-3 km, down from 20 km Saturday night, but briefly reached 7 km altitude earlier today. The plume does not reach high altitude winds. It is hardly visible on satelite images due to weather conditions, but low level ash clouds are detected 800 km south of Iceland.
Volcanic ash
Based on plume height, the estimated magma discharge rate equals 10-70 tonnes/s of ash, only detectble in the area close to the eruption. However, ash from the first 36 hours is still in the atmosphere and causing diminished visibility in the area closest to the eruption site, down to 100-200 metres and some interruptions to air-traffic further afield.
For further information see the Icelandic Met Office http://www.imo.is , The Environment Agency http://www.ust.is and http://kort.vista.is/ . The inhabitants of the area are advised to study information on ash fall, available on the website http://www.almannavarnir.is.
Eruption site
Seismic tremor at the Grímsfjall station has been fairly stable since yesterday afternoon. No earthquakes were recorded in the volcano today. Based on the development of plume height, ash fall in inhabited areas in Iceland, number of lightning strikes, seismic tremor and ground deformation, it is inferred that the strength of the eruption continues to decline, with present explosive activity only a small fraction of its initial values.
Weather forecast
In the evening, wind will go down. Cloudy. Wednesday is expected to be cloudy, temperature 7-10 C and light wind.
Transportation
The road from Vík in the west to Freysnes in the east will be opened at 19:00 GMT. For further information: http://www.vegagerdin.is.
Air traffic
Keflavik international airport has been open since yesterday at 18:00.
Life stock
A few farm animals have been killed, mainly due to accidents, not poisonous substances in the ash.
Emergency centers and psycho-social support
The Red Cross is operating disaster service centers at two locations; Kirkjubæjarklaustur and Hofgarður. Psycho-social support teams are located at Klaustur, Vík , Höfn and Hvolsvöllur. Furthermore the Red Cross has activated a 24 hour hotline, 1717, in order to supply general information to inhabitants and tourists in the area.
Requests for assistance
People who need assistance from the police and rescue teams should call 1-1-2. Further information
Status reports will be published by the National Crisis Coordination Center in Skógarhlíð during the eruption. Civil Protection and Emergency Management: http://www.almannavarnir.is and http://www.sst.is

Re: HINWEIS: Vulkanausbruch am Grimsvötn
Statusbericht 25.05.2011
Volcanic acitivity significantly reduced
Activity in the volcanic eruption is significantly reduced. The volcano is emitting low steam, 100-200 metres. Overnight the plume rose briefly up to 5 and 12 km height and small explosions can still be expected, according to information from the Icelandic Met Office. Travellers are advised not to go closer to the eruption than 6 km, due to these explosions.
The volcano is not emitting any ash into the high altitude winds, only affecting the area near the eruption site. However the ash emitted over the weekend is still causing some problems in the European airspace. A team of scientists are currently flying over the eruption to measure the activity. Further information is expected in the afternoon.
Keflavik international airport is open for traffic.
