I read today that the volcano has started to produce magma; just wishing good luck to everybody in Iceland while this works itself out. I know that some eruptions have killed massive numbers of people there and hope this eruption stays quiet and contained. I enjoy my snark against CCP on occasion but this is a situation for good thoughts and good wishes. |

It erupting means the pressure gets released, so that's actually a plus in my book.

A quick poke around the web isn't finding significant death tolls from volcanos in Iceland, unless you're going back 300 years ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laki )
One of the things is: The volcano going up is pretty much in the middle of the island. While yes, there's a potential for it to really explode, it's kinda low.

thankfully Doc Fury has been working on his kitten sacrifice procedures and delivery system over the summer to prepare for just this kind if event. |

You can watch the volcano live from here to if the livefromiceland.is link isn't working or giving you a stream (because of overload): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKtGqoxV_qo
And remember to put the stream on 'Direct' if it's not selected.

Lets all thank CCP NakedMan for his continuing fight against the volcano whilst in his birthday suit.
I have no clue who this CCP Iceland is.

A volcano doesn't "produce" magma, it basicly erupts the magma from within, though it's called lava once it has reached the surface |

As a geologist (non practicing just degree) I was going to say that. Thank you.

Hmz, does this means no planes in the EU for weeks again...
Last thing I heard is that CCP is experimenting with geothermal powered servers instead of hamster power, they think it's more stable.
Maybe this is a result of some "tests"

While yes, there's a potential for it to really explode, it's kinda low.
The big worry IS that the volcano is going Full Laki (never go full Laki). Even at the current rate, if it continues for several months it will have a disasterous effect on the world due to outgassing of SO2, Fluoride, and other bad stuff (the primary killers of Laki). In direct physical danger, it's fairly unlikely.
However, we have a good deal of geologic proof that this is most likely an eruption on the scale of the 1783 event, mostly in the form of lava analysis, and seismic evidence of mantle activity, along with historical analysis of previous eruption events. Right now, the hotspot underneath Iceland as well as the Mid Atlantic Ridge are both approaching their activity maximums, massively increasing the risk of such an event. While it is a relatively gentle eruption as of this moment, the danger is that it simply won't stop, or will uncork the terrific gas pressure in the underground magma to blow the rift wide open into a full rift eruption or flood basalt.
Even now, it's putting out somewhere around three times the cubic meters of lava per hour that the Katla event was producing. Conservative estimates put the eruptable volume at about 1 cubic kilometer of eruptable magma, with less conservative estimates based off of a set of simultanious deep earthquakes putting the rift at depth at a width of 1 kilometer across instead of 1 meter across as near the surface. Which would put the eruptable volume closer to 30 to 90 cubic kilometers.
But, as said, the danger is not the eruption itself and the lava output, which can be briskly walked away from, but instead the gas output. We're looking at about 1000 tons per second (or minute, I'm not entirely clear on the scale) of SO2, with unknown amounts of Fluorine and other volcanic gasses being emitted. These are bad. Do not breathe these, you will die like taking a rookie ship into W-Space.
And the longer this eruption continues (and potentially the more massive it gets), the more gas that is being put up. The Laki event was so deadly because it put millions to billions of tons of gas into the upper atmosphere and helped with particularly bad climate cycles to induce a massively cold winter (second-coldest on record) that caused mass crop failures and civil unrest. Additionally, europe suffered from having gas dropping down from the upper atmosphere in large quantities, causing breathing issues and large numbers of deaths from sulfur fogs and Skeletal Fluorosis. These are Bad. They Suck, and Skeletal Fluorosis is incurable and will lead to Painful Death.
But that's just the worst case scenario. The best case is that this thing calms down and shuts up, but the chances of that are smaller than it continuing or growing.
Addendum: As a further note, this will NOT mean no EU planes. The unpronouncable volcano had such an effect due to overly strict safety precautions that have since been relaxed, extra fine ash that stayed aloft much longer than normal, weather conditions, and several other factors of which none are in play here. We are more likely to see continual massive outgassing events which will do damage through the above outlined effects, planes should be fine. |

HAHA Yes!!!
Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person." |

Everyone knows it's just a matter of time anyway. It will be ok.
I'd be surprised if they don't have a lifeboat system already in place at Volcano Island. |

About that:
As it turns out, there might be a good reason the Icelandic government requested virgins specifically as our efforts to appease their volcano Deity using random ***** is having limited success at best.
