Yesterday (18th October 2010) at 03:34 UTC there was a deep earthquake under Katla volcano. This earthquake was on a 14,8 km depth and had the size of ML0.7 according to reviewed earthquake data from IMO (this is too small for my Hekla geophone to detect at this distance). This was a single earthquake and does not indicate anything special at current time.<\/strong> However this earthquake might possibility signal a change inside Katla volcano and might be a start of a longer process that is in the end going to lead to a eruption in Katla some time in the future.<\/p>\n

Currently it is unclear how the path to volcano eruption starts in Katla. But in 1918 there where no instruments to record that eruption.<\/p>\n

This type of deep earthquake have sometimes created harmonic tremor signals in Katla volcano. But that happens due to dike<\/a> event inside the volcano. This has happened regularly over the last few years. But has not been big enough to start a eruption.<\/p>\n

This is not the only earthquake that has been happening in Katla volcano over the past few weeks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWeek 41<\/a> earthquakes in M\u00fdrdalsj\u00f6kull and Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull volcanoes.<\/em><\/p>\n

The wait for Katla eruption is going to end one day. But that day is not today far as I know so far. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
