What would happen if you dropped a bomb into the Ejfjallajokull glacier

cynder

Just wondering if dropping a bomb might help it erupt quicker?

Sky news was saying the last time it erupted it took 2 years. hell i have my summer holidays booked, i cant wait 2 years.....

Maybe a nuke or a cluster bomb!

How would you drop it in if all the planes are grounded?

Nevermind_

might as well throw a matchstick in there for all the effect it would have.
Mother Nature is still more powerful than modern technology

Nah, drop in two of those white Gaviscon firemen spraying white stuff everywhere instead...

Where there is a will there is a way!


Im sure you could send in a few war ships and launch them of the ships!

or Americas long range missiles and blow the top of the thing!

Just a thought i had. What would happen? would it make it 10 times worse?

You'll end up with a load of thetans roaming the Earth. At least, that's what L. Ron Hubbard says.

And remember what happened the last time TheTans roamed Ireland!

Donegal could be used as a missile base.

Glaciers don't erupt, silly

The volcano is under the glacier!!!!!!


' The ice-cap of the glacier covers an active volcano (1666m in height) which has erupted rather frequently since the ice-age. The last eruption was in 1821-23, causing a fatal glacier run. The crater of the volcano has a diameter of 3-4 km, the glacier covering an extension of about 100 km². '

Father ted is back and is setting up a missile base in donegal!

I'd say it's worth a go.

We could ask CIRA/RIRA if they'd be interested in giving it a shot. They could try parking a car bomb on the roadside next to the Volcano. To get them onside we could feed them some bullsh!t story about how the lava flow is some type of Orange Order triumphalist celebration.

yep, the cluster bomb draws in all the oxygen, a nuke would have a different effect so which one would be better?

Also what would the consequences be? Suppose that's why its never been done before!

Im no ammo expert so thats why i asked the question.

If it blows the glacier apart which will melt.. Will the green party try blame the motorists?

How about an atomic cluster bomb? Forget blowing up Ejfjallajokull, let's just send the entire of Iceland into the sea.

We'd be fcuked and if it followed past patterns, you might as well buy a rowing boat to.

OP, is this how you're going to pitch your idea?

I think they should put a cork in it. That cork should be Cork.

Why not just take advantage of it and build the worlds biggest wok and have a global stir fry!

Or why don't they get everyone to blow in a Northerly direction. Mass air movement!

Actually, it has been done before. The US Air Force spent a good few decades taking a look at it.

Check this article - http://www.springerlink.com/content/52087t1517154368/

Diversion of lava flows by aerial bombing — lessons from Mauna Loa volcano, Hawaii

I also remember reading about a pre-emptive strike on a volcano ~1940 by the Americans. 4 fighter-bombers bombed a volcano before it erupted, and apparently it worked.

You don't mean a cluster bomb you mean a fuel-air bomb.

Nope. The thing the draws in all the air is called a fuel air bomb.
A cluster bomb is a bomb that releases lots of little bombs......a cluster if you will....

drop mary harney in their, the back pressure with her arse covering the whole hole will either

a) Blow her up high into the sky, into space miles away

c) Both above + a warm current of air moving towards Ireland.

Ah sure why not? And while we're at it, why don't we solve the recession by printing more money?
