This is most likely a some magma dike intrusion at depth, it happens commonly in Katla volcano without resulting in a eruption.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/130618_18351.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/130618_18351.jpeg\" alt=\"130618_1835\" width=\"540\" height=\"642\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/130618_18351.jpeg 540w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/130618_18351-252x300.jpeg 252w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nActivity in Katla volcano. <em>Copyright of this image belongs to Icelandic Meteorological Office.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Other then minor activity, it is rather quiet in Iceland at the moment.
