This dike intrusion was not in the main volcano it self. But a good distance away from it. But this is in a area that has erupted before in distant past in a fissure style eruption (just lava, no volcano ash). What is the case now I am not sure at the moment. But this dike intrusion was at the depth of 25 to 22 km. So it has long way to go before any eruption takes place. This dike intrusion did also not show any sign of moving upwards according to R\u00fav News of this event.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/121214_2215.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/121214_2215.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"121214_2215\" width=\"540\" height=\"616\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/121214_2215.png 540w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/121214_2215-262x300.png 262w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nEarthquake map from IMO showing the dike intrusion clearly. <em>Copyright of this image belongs to Icelandic Meteorological Office.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What this means in the long term is impossible to know at this point. But this is one event in a long series of events that started in March 2010. This is going to end with a eruption. Large or small is impossible to know until it happens. What is also impossible to know is when and where such eruption might take place. As is always the case with active volcanoes. There is at least no reason to panic about this. Not now, not ever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Donations:<\/strong> I am still needing donations to cover my cost of buying 3G hardware for upcoming geophone stations B\u00f6\u00f0varsh\u00f3lar (total cost around 1300 DKK, or 29900 ISK). I have got some donations already. But they just cover the cost of UPS and USB card for Skei\u00f0fl\u00f6t geophone station. But I was fixing technical problems with it.
