But I am now expecting an new eruption from Gr\u00edmsfjall volcano in the next 12 to 48 months or so at the earliest. The preparing for eruption clues have already started to show. But that is an slow increase in earthquakes in Gr\u00edmsfjall volcano. Something that has always been a clear indicator of that an eruption might not be far off, even if nobody knows when and how big next eruption is going to be. It has been <a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/?p=765\" target=\"_blank\">documented<\/a> that Gr\u00edmsfjall volcano does sometimes have an eruption every once or two year when the activity is at highest. But since the year 1983 the eruptions in Gr\u00edmsfjall volcano have been getting more frequent and larger, the largest one so far being last year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/120116_1930.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/120116_1930.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"120116_1930\" width=\"540\" height=\"596\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/120116_1930.jpeg 540w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/120116_1930-271x300.jpg 271w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe latest earthquake in Gr\u00edmsfjall volcano.
