Ah, but that comes next: Katla, the neighbouring volcano, is much bigger, erupts 4 times as often, and has historically always erupted shortly after Eyjafjallajökull. We're in for two months of fun, methinks.pagroove wrote:And this is just a little volcano in comparison to a megavolcano

Unfortunately the situation seems to be getting worse rather than better. Got a friend who should have been flying to the UK from Australia today for a few weeks visit to various places - flight cancelled.
I think I'm going to go clothes and essentials shopping later, somehow I think my supplies here would be better enhanced a bit given I keep seeing quotes from various sources talking in weeks rather than days

So was my gf (planned to travel this morning from Brussels). No idea if she's even going to get on the Tuesday flight...Commander McLane wrote:I was bound to travel to East Africa yesterday evening.
That shouldn't be too hard for you Ahruman. Didn't you have any Old Norse in school. I know we touched upon it here in Norway. This is from the time all Scandahovians spoke the same language.Ahruman wrote:Oh well, at least everyone can have fun trying to pronounce it.
At least it doesn't have those funny Iceland only letters.

Yes, but they didn’t tell me about “ll” mutating into “tl” (or “fnd” into “mt”). Good thing I practiced terminal “tl” in order to pronounce Quetzalcoatl. :-)Gimi wrote:That shouldn't be too hard for you Ahruman. Didn't you have any Old Norse in school.

Hmm, ok, I probably couldn't pronounce it properly myself anyway.Ahruman wrote:Yes, but they didn’t tell me about “ll” mutating into “tl” (or “fnd” into “mt”).

"ll" to "tl" I knew about. We still have that in a few dialects on the west coast of Norway. Now, "fnd" into "mt" and probably 2/3 of the rest of the sounds on the wiki page are new to me.
I have been disillusioned, thought I knew more.
I can read basic Icelandic pretty well, but understanding when they speak is pretty hard. They definitely have to slow way down.

Yes I've read that some magma channels of Eyjafjallajökull are connected to Katla and it could set off a bigger eruption.CheeseRedux wrote:Ah, but that comes next: Katla, the neighbouring volcano, is much bigger, erupts 4 times as often, and has historically always erupted shortly after Eyjafjallajökull.

Although both KLM and Lufthansa did a couple of test flights since Saturday evening and reported no problems whatsoever (and Niki Lauda complains that there haven't been done any meteorological tests at all as to determine the density of the ash cloud; he even claimed that not a single weather balloon has been sent into the cloud yet, although I find that hard to believe), in Germany the ban has been extended until at least 6 a.m. Monday.
The chancellor has returned to Berlin by car, though.

So far the KLM and Lufthansa flights have deliberately flown into the breaks in the ash cloud or beneath it, to prove that if they're not in it - their aircraft aren't in any danger - hmmm....
A BA 747 has just landed back at Cardiff having flown a big loop, up through and then back down through the cloud, it's been whisked off to the BA hanger for a strip down. They made a big thing about the BA Chairman Willy Walsh being on it - so what - now if he'd put just his family on the plane - then I would have believed that he was sure there was no danger.
