Reports did come to Icelandic Meteorological Office that a glacier river named J\u00f6kuls\u00e1 Vestri in <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Skagafj%C3%B6r%C3%B0ur\" target=\"_blank\">Skagarfir\u00f0i<\/a> (Wikipedia). It is not known what is causing this change in the glacier river, it might be anything from a mud slide to change in the glacier itself. Amount of water in the glacier river has not changed according to IMO monitoring of the river.<\/p>\n<p>Smell of sulfur has been reported with this change in the glacier river. That means the water has been in contact with hydrothermal areas that are under Hofsj\u00f6kull glacier (volcano). No earthquake activity or change of any type has taken place following this change in J\u00f6kuls\u00e1 Vestri in Skagarfir\u00f0i.<\/p>\n<p>If anything more happens.
