"Geologists are very pleasant companions, especially for geologists. It’s their art, to stop at every stone, and carry out an investigation at every layer of Earth"

From 27 September there is an increased likelihood of a magma intrusion and even an eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula. The Met Office has raised the warning level. The period during which there is an increased chance may last for up to three months.

Massive outgassing at moment from eruptive crater at Sundhnukar, possibly signalling end of the eruption?

This morning at Sundhnukar at ~5 am local, there was still good activity from at least 3 craters on the fissure, later fog prevents any views again.

Updated 12:00 local
Eruption no longer confined to a single fissure at Sundhnukar. The larger estimated to be ~ 2.4 km long. A smaller fissure has opened W of Fagradalsfjall and estimated ~ 500 m in recon flight by IMO/Coast Guard.

Approximate location of the fissure at Sundhnukar, Iceland.
Initially 700-1000 m long, growing N-ward and lava flows mainly to SE, not approaching any infrastructure.

The volcanic eruption north of Grindavík has subsided

Updated 17:00 IMO
The eruption north of Grindavík has continued to subside, with little activity visible on webcams and recent drone flights. However, seismic activity continues.

IMO: Updated at 10:00 AM
The fissure is now about 500 meters wide and has now reached through the dam north of Grindavík. The crack continues to grow and it cannot be ruled out that it will continue to open to the south.

it looks like propagating more south , which might be bad news for Grindavik...

...picture shows the earthquake effect the last half an hour. It is clear that quite a large concentration seems to be forming that stretches north and even south of Hagafell. The activity is mostly at the north and south end of the inlet.

-Eruption likely imminent says IMO-
An intense earthquake swarm is ongoing in the Sundhnúk crater series. GPS measurements and pressure measurements in boreholes also show clear changes.

-Danger level declared due to risk of volcanic eruption-

Police authorities have declared a civil defense alert due to the increased risk of another volcanic eruption at the Sundhnúka crater range.

-Latest from IMO-

The likelihood of a new eruption at the Sundhnúk crater range is increasing
The risk assessment has been updated. Bad weather forecast for the next few days may affect the sensitivity of the measuring network.
