One thing I miss from reddit is those people who’d come in and explain everything, like that Earthquake person.
I miss that too, but I can give you true other part of the reddit experience... Bad jokes. I'm Reyk Janes Bitch!

You have either ~~plutonic~~ or ~~basaltic~~ volcanoes. This is a quiet ~~plutonic~~ one : it's lava flows without explosions, so, there could be much worse scenarios. But still, it is a big one.
Edit : My use of "plutonic" might be outdated or wrong : I think this is the old way it was described, but today, I cannot find a reference to support it.
It's all about how much silica is in the lava - not much and you have basalt, fairly runny so the gas escapes and you get fire fountaining and lava flows. More silica gives you very viscous lava like rhyolite or andesite - traps the gases, far more explosive and dangerous eruption styles.
You are right
...and my use of "plutonic" is either outdated or plainly wrong.
I found this for anyone who wants to read more :
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lava
"Properties of lava"
Because of the role of silica in determining viscosity and because many other properties of a lava (such as its temperature) are observed to correlate with silica content, silicate lavas are divided into four chemical types based on silica content:
felsic,
intermediate,
mafic, and
ultramafic.
The one a few years ago that stopped flights in Europe was a basaltic one?
The difference there was that it came up under the glacier Eyjafjallajökull and the magma meeting ice caused steam explosions throwing ash and other material high in the air.
Oups, maybe this is an outdated terminology : I couldn't find any references to support it. Please read my other comments and "edit" around here.
is that the one they were waiting for or a different one?
This is the one they were waiting for. There are several live cams trained on the area, and one of them caught the exact moment it erupted:

Thank you for the link! That was deeply satisfying to watch. The camera quality is so good.
I'd love to see that in person. It looks massive.
Seems to be the same as it started near Grindavík, the city that was evacuated previously as a precaution.
Wake me up when it is Odin pursing some Ice Giants
Well, time to add Ragnarök to my Apocalypse Bingo Card.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
