In the news from R\u00fav at 22:00 UTC it was sad that water is the most likely source of the harmonic tremors in Katla volcano<\/a>. But it seems that hydrothermal activity in Katla volcano is increasing and melting the glacier. But for the past few hours there have been signs of hydrothermal melt water getting into M\u00falakv\u00edsl glacier river, making the river have more water then normal and increasing conductivity in it. This is not glacier flood as such. The cauldrons that formed in July have not changed according to this news, but it was not reported if they had actually gotten deeper or larger.<\/p>\n

Due to cloud cover it was not possible to explore the north part of M\u00fdrdalsj\u00f6kull glacier. Just the south part. According to the news on R\u00fav at 22:00 new small cauldron have formed in the south part of M\u00fdrdalsj\u00f6kull glacier. They are shallow at present time and may have taken few weeks for form to present size (not sure how big they are), but among this cauldrons is a cauldron that has not been seen for past seven to eight years, cracks have formed around the cauldron and he has gotten deeper and water has collected in the cauldron. But with more earthquake activity and increased hydrothermal activity under the glacier. So more monitoring is needed on Katla volcano according to Magn\u00fas Tumi Gu\u00f0mundsson volcanologist at University of Iceland.<\/p>\n

Note: When I wrote this blog post. It seems that new earthquake swarm is about to start in Katla volcano. At least I think so.<\/p>\n
