Earthquake activity in Tindfjallajökull volcano

I don’t write many articles about Tindfjallajökull volcano. This is because as a volcano Tindfjallajökull volcano has spent its last ~12.000 years being quiet.

All of the earthquakes that took place were small in magnitude and it doesn’t seems that any of them got larger then magnitude 0,3. This earthquake activity also seems to intrude a little into Hekla volcano fissure swarm system (it doesn’t mean or do anything). It is unclear why this earthquake activity is happening.

Please remember to support my work with donations. Because if extra work that I am doing I’ll post fewer articles this summer (While I am living in Iceland, details on this later). If anything major happens I’ll post updates soon as possible (work is 08:00 – 16:00). Thanks for the support. 🙂

Glacier flood starting from Grímsvötn volcano

Glacier flood has started from Grímsvötn volcano. This glacier flood is expected to be small like last few flood that have happened. At this moment I am not expecting an eruption from Grímsvötn volcano. If an eruption does happen I would not expect it to be a large one.

I’ll update this article or write a new article when I can or if something major happens.

Please remember to support my work with donations. Turns out that June might get slightly more tricker then I first planned in terms of money. Thanks for the support. 🙂
