This is a short update. Information here might go outdated quickly and without warning. This update is written on 11. November at 22:42 UTC.<\/p>\n

The dyke is 15 km long at the writing of this article. It might be extending both north-east and south-west. Earthquake activity remains heavy but the magnitudes have dropped for now.<\/li>\n
The inflation in the area is around 120 cm or more since start of this yesterday (10. November 2023).<\/li>\n
The dyke now extends into the ocean and the part in the ocean is around 3 to 5 km. At shallow depth, this is going to result in explosive eruption for the first few hours to days.<\/li>\n
The magma is now at depth of 800 meters, where it is the most shallow. That might not result in a eruption at that location.<\/li>\n
Eruption is going to start without warning. Since Icelandic Met Office has issued that they can’t see the harmonic tremor start because of heavy earthquake activity in the dyke.<\/li>\n
There is now a major risk of large earthquakes both east and west of the dyke because of all the displacement resulting from him. Those might happen days or even weeks in the future.<\/li>\n
