Thanks.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The magma is at 400 meters depth, where it is at its most shallow.\u00a0 I am not sure on location, but I think it is just north-east of Grindav\u00edk town.<\/li>\n<li>There is strong wind on Reykjanes peninsula. That normally hides some of the smaller earthquakes happening. Icelandic Met Office continues to record 700 to 3000 earthquakes each day. Most of them are along the dyke and most of them are in the magnitude range of Mw0,0 to Mw3,1. With the stronger ones happening least often.<\/li>\n<li>Inflow of the magma into the dyke is at the writing of this article around 73 m3\/s to 75 m3\/s. On Friday 10. November that inflow was 1000 m3\/s.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sulfur_dioxide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sulfur dioxide<\/a> was detected today north of Grindav\u00edk. That suggests that magma might be at shallow depth in the dyke area.<\/li>\n<li>News reports today did say that the area in Grindav\u00edk and nearby continues to sink around 7 cm over 24 hour time period. This might be uneven process depending on the area.<\/li>\n<li>Lakes south of Grindav\u00edk have been seen growing, as the area continues to sink and get lower. It is a question of parts of this area is going to get flooded by the ocean soon.

November 2023. The stations on the east are going up, some much as 1 meter. While the GPS stations on the west side are lowering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11951\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11951\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11951 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/231114_2250.png\" alt=\"Line of red dots shows all the small earthquakes, along with one green star on it.
