Hi jon.
What do you exspekt for 2019? Do you think its going to be an eruption in iceland in the coming year.
It is not possible to know if an eruption is going to happen in Iceland. The factors are too big to know this. Sometimes there are clues about what might happen, most times an eruption happens only with a short term warning.
