This is a short update since this situation is changing quickly.
- Largest earthquake recorded so far had a magnitude of Mw4,8 and was felt over a wide area.
- Uncertainty level has been declared for Fagradalsfjall mountain area because of this earthquake activity and the risk of an eruption.
- Current depth of the magma is now 3 to 6 km and is getting shallower by each hour.
- Over 2000 earthquakes have been recorded at the writing of this article.
The only web camera that I know of at the moment and is showing Fagradalsfjall mountain is this one here. When the eruption starts, it should be visible in some part on this web camera. I hope that other closer web cameras are going online soon. Those where run by Rúv and mbl.is in last eruption.
Thank you for the camera link. I will be watching for the glow of lava on the other side of the harbor. Wow!!
I have spent the day keeping an eye on three of the webcams, watching the Tour de France, watching horse racing, monitoring the cricket score and trying to do some work. I’ll be honest, I have had more productive days… 🙂
