1. Could you add some links so we can follow in real time relevant data?

2. Check IMO web page for tremor charts and earthquake information. I am going to post more information soon as I know more. But that might take a few moments until that happens.

3. Congrats Jon on your first volcanic eruption! 🙂

4. Has the eruption been confirmed yet or it it just speculation or about to go?

5. The eruption has been confirmed. I not know if there is any visual confirmation yet.

6. Interesting to see the earthquakes off to the south of the icecap. Is that a sign that a jokulhlaup may be coming?

7. Exciting! When did the actual eruption start?

8. Does anyone know the site for the water measurements?

   1. http://www.vedur.is and then click on the one to the right of Jarðskjálftar – think it’s Vatnafar

   2. It is at http://www.vedur.is, just check the english web page.

9. Very exciting developments.
   Pieter: Here is the site I think.

10. “You misunderstand. When it gets quiet in Iceland then I get nervous. Because it means that there is a lock down in the faults that cross Iceland.

    It normally resumes with a whole a lot of noise when the silence is broken.”

    Ok, in Grímsfjall… but the whole of South-East Iceland just lit up… Laki?

    1. Nah, those are just ghost quakes. This seems to be a ‘regular’ Grimsvötn eruption.

       1. I don’t think so. Well not all of them:

11. Wow… many earthquakes appeared in a very short period of time on the vedur.is earthquake website!
    Is there any more data to look at, at the moment?

12. Tremors are showing up on the SIL stations on the Keflavik peninsula!

13. Jón:
    Congratulations.
    You said it “was too calm”!
    Yeahhh! 🙂

14. I went to cook food and i come back to this. 🙂

15. Jón:
    If a jökullhlaup occurs will we be able to see the waters rising at Jökulsárlón webcam?

    1. Not from Jökulsárlón web cam. But from some of the cameras close to Skaftárfell and nearby area.

       1. Excuse me Jón, if you are not too busy could you provide the link to this camera?

       2. http://live.mila.is/jokulsarlon/
          Webcam Jokulsarlon, not usefull probably but still.

          Only data of one of the drainage rivers, we should see changes in this data.
