ICELAND GEOGRAPHY 🇬🇧🇮🇸🇺🇦

After nearly 10 years of Twittering and 60+ years of working in Iceland I have formally retired. Keep on sharing your Tweets. You spread a wealth of knowledge. I’ll pop in occasionally to see how you’re getting on!

@kelper60 “Stop it; you’re making me blush” ☺️

Captions on this photo pls...cheers..

@AndzB You´re here?! And I´m in the High Arctic!! Poor management ☹️☹️. Not back until early September. You?

I couldn’t not post a penguin pic too. Happy Friday folks! Off out for an Indian tonight… my first since arriving in the UK and I can’t wait!!! What to have though? I usually opt for a madras or vindaloo but feel like I should try something new. 😋

@MarburyBirds Looks like a cockchafer

Came in from bell ringing to be greeted by this. We have never seen anything like it. I have to admit I am a bit scared of it! What is it?!!

@pkpacha12 @Palljokull @StormHour @iceland @svennioddur @todayiniceland @IceSif Super shots. Appropriate music. Creeping ice sound a bit much and all a bit ‘samey’. My goodness hasn’t the snout retreated!!

👏👏👏

@MrBishopGeog Bribery and corruption!!

@IcelandGeog I told students I'd give it achievement points to those who found it funny...

Me an der cat groaned at that one.

@RevTracyJessop Congratulations! Hoping to see you Monday or Tuesday

#Iceland Despite a quiet night on #Reykjanes, scientists are looking worriedly at the GPS stations at #Svartsengi and #Grindavik. They moved in all directions, "which could best be compared to jumping on a trampoline." mbl.is/frettir/innlen…

Despite geological challenges, including a newly formed 25.7-meter-deep hole, Grindavík’s business sector is showing signs of revival. Residents will not be able to return home until land uplift ceases. rebrand.ly/7ncg9i7

#Iceland With only 110 rather weak earthquakes, the night on #Reykjanes was comparatively very quiet again and the power plant at Svartsengi reported a successful test run yesterday, so it is hoped that the employees can return soon. mbl.is/frettir/innlen…

As things stand this seems unlikely. The lava can be traced fairly accurately below ground.

Extensive construction work is underway around Svartsengi to create robust defenses against potential lava flows in case of an eruption. The project, initiated on November 14, focuses on establishing a swift and substantial defense line using powerful equipment, including the country's most potent bulldozer. Two protective walls are planned: one extending 4km around the Svartsengi power plant and the Blue Lagoon, and another 1.5km-long defense closer to the Sundhnjúkagíga range, encompassing Hagafell and Sýlingarfell. The primary objective is to impede or slow the initial impact of any potential lava flow. Credit: mbl.is

!!New live seismic data stream!! Inspired by @SWP_ETHZurich we have set up a youtube stream with live data from one of our @CamVolcSeis @Haskoli_Islands #seismic stations installed along the path of the recent #dike intrusion on the #Reykjanes Peninsula youtube.com/live/WAhweoluz…

🚨Civil defense decided to evacuate the city of #Grindavik, #Iceland. A volcanic eruption seems imminent. #volcano #Volcanology #earthquakes #Islanda #IcelandNews #Icelandearthquakes #Icelandearthquake
