Last week I wrote<\/a> about increased conductivity in M\u00falakv\u00edsl glacier river that comes from M\u00fdrdalsj\u00f6kull glacier (Katla volcano<\/a>). This trend has continued into second week with the conductivity. The conductivity in M\u00falakv\u00edsl is now on the range of ~327 to ~360 \u00b5S\/cm. There has also been a slight increase in water levels following this change in M\u00falakv\u00edsl glacier river. Normal value for this time of year according to Icelandic Meteorological Office is ~180 \u00b5S\/cm in M\u00falakv\u00edsl glacier river. Since 31-December-2013 the conductivity in M\u00falakv\u00edsl glacier river has always been over 220 \u00b5S\/cm.<\/p>\n

No harmonic tremors or earthquakes have been detected (besides normal activity) following this changes. What is taking place is that a cauldron in M\u00fdrdalsj\u00f6kull glacier is now leaking melt water that has been built up due to hydrothermal (hot springs) activity under the glacier. So far it does not appear that current changes in M\u00falakv\u00edsl glacier river mean anything at all. If that is going to change is impossible to know at this point.<\/p>\n
