This evening on 22-February 2025 at 21:04 UTC an earthquake with magnitude of Mw5,2 took place in Bárðarbunga volcano. This has been followed by several smaller earthquakes and this earthquake swarm seems to be ongoing.

This earthquake activity is possibly magma trying to find a path to the surface. If it is going to be successful now is another story. It is possible for the magma to fail this. It is difficult to know how this is going to evolve and progress in Bárðarbunga volcano. However, it is clear that for now, no eruption is imminent.
