Please leave comments with useful links.
Here are two collections for monitoring:
- Hekla: http://hraun.vedur.is/ja/hekla/
- Vatnajokull: http://hraun.vedur.is/ja/vatnajokulsvoktun/english.html
Also webcams:
http://eldgos.mila.is/hekla/
-> there you can get the links to all others by Mila
http://www.earthcam.com/cams/iceland/reykjavik/#
-> useful for aurora watching, not sure about volcanoes
Thanks Ursula. Collections implemented. I would at all not mind if you edit the pages.
And for the auroas. I was thinking of changing the menu volcanowebcams to observation deck maybe and add auroracams besides volcanocams too, because so many here like watching them, but thats up to you and Master Carl to decide. What do you think?
Hi Spica, go ahead and edit, it’s better if only one person does it at the time.
, but check with Carl, please.
As for “observation deck”, I really like the idea
Of course. Carl is the master, i am the archive dragon, a bookworm in the true meaning.

I am not sure if this paper has been listed but it throws some questions at the Icelandic Plume/ Hotspot theory and so is worth reading to help you understand the tectonic behaviours under Iceland. It will probably confuse you even more but you will not be alone with this! http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CC4QFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dur.ac.uk%2Fg.r.foulger%2FOffprints%2FAstron-Geo.pdf&ei=guOIUL6TH4mg0QX0m4GQBQ&usg=AFQjCNFMviornQMDYQexXig09hQVM8dq2g&sig2=RuRQ1BMQy5CVwZdiMQavWw
