Balpin Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 No problem, I aim to please, it would be a fantastic thing to see though and much better than just withering away with a long painful death. I dont think we would see it from England though would we? We would just have the long slow death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about you being lucky enough to in the Canaries when it happens, I would come out and witness it with you but I haven’t started to wither away just yet.

HeadingNorth Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I dont think we would see it from England though would we? We would not; a plume of smoke in Iceland would have to be something like a hundred miles high to be visible over the horizon. I imagine what he meant is that it would be an amazing sight if you happened to be in Iceland when it blew. I would agree, but on the whole I think I'd prefer to observe an exploding volcano from several thousand miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 If Katla went off, how high would be the plume ? I do not know, but I'm quite happy to stake my reputation (however small it might be!) on a plume of smoke not reaching anything like a hundred miles. Ash particles might be ejected to such a great height, but they tend to be in smaller quantities and not easily visible (which is why they cause a problem to air traffic which might fly into them unknowingly).

A hundred miles, that is terrifying. We cannot cope with that. It will be end of us for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
