Even if there is written Bardarbunga, all pictures are showing the Holuhraun volcano field which is probalby part of Bardabunga, but not defantly Sanandros (talk) 16:06, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The geological institutions in Iceland working with the Holuhraun eruption are publishing all information about it under "Bárðarbunga". See: http://en.vedur.is/earthquakes-and-volcanism/articles/nr/2947 (IMO) and http://earthice.hi.is/bardarbunga_2014 Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Iceland. The petrological / chemical "fingerprint" of the laves is the reason for that. Reykholt (talk) 11:09, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Here is written that it is just indicating that Holuhraun and Bardabunga are connected together, but not prooved.--Sanandros (talk) 11:42, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Why not rename the category to "Category:Bárðarbunga volcanic system eruption in 2014"? Similar to the article de:Ausbruch im Bárðarbunga-Vulkansystem 2014 in the German wikipedia? Then it is easier to add the new photos to September 2014 (including link to the new category like examples in August 2014/July 2014 – please add one or two?) and to the (German and other future)Wikipedia-articles. --LudwigSebastianMicheler (talk) 04:58, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Just pointing out that we do have Category:Bárðarbunga volcanic system which covers the whole mess, so I don't see a problem with having 'by date' categories under there if it's not clear where the origin of the activity is –⁠moogsi (talk) 14:36, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Then we can also put all pic in Holuhraun in 2014 as just that lavafield is right now active and nothing else.--Sanandros (talk) 20:31, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There is the old and the new Holuhraun lava (sometimes also called "Nornahraun" by Icelandic scientists), which overlap each other. The article, you referred to above, Sanandros, was talking about the old Holuhraun lava, the new lava field was identified clearly as coming from Bárðarbunga (proved by chemical analysis). Otherwise, IMO - and the Earth Science Institute of University of Iceland would have titled their articles otherwise. http://earthice.hi.is/bardarbunga_2014 . BTW: Not only the lava field is active at the moment, but the caldera is sinking since 4 months now in tact with the eruption, so ... Reykholt (talk) 22:39, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
PS: IMO (Icelandic Met Office, who are also checking on earthquakes and volcanic activity in the country), mention in their reports on Bárðarbunga / Holuhraun activity that chemical analysis shows that the lava comes from this volcanic system ( http://en.vedur.is/earthquakes-and-volcanism/articles/nr/2947 , 9 December 2014, scroll down): "The magma that comes up is a rather primitive basalt, with a chemical composition typical of the Bárðarbunga volcanic system. "

Another article referring to the connection is eg. one of the regular reports on the eruption: http://en.vedur.is/media/jar/Factsheet_Bardarbunga_20141230.pdf Reykholt (talk) 14:49, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could we pls. take this category down from the discussion list, in the meantime, there have been published lots of scientific articles proving the connection between the newest eruptions on the Holuhraun site and the volcano Bárðarbunga, see eg. Rossi, Cristian und Minet, Christian und Fritz, Thomas und Eineder, Michael und Erten, Esra (2015) Temporal monitoring of Bardarbunga volcanic activity with TanDEM-X. AGU Fall Meeting 2015, 14-18 Dec 2015, San Francisco. http://elib.dlr.de/102463/ Reykholt (talk) 15:35, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
