This is a short update on B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga<\/a> volcano activity.<\/p>\n

Earthquake activity continues in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano and shows no signs of slowing down. Two swarms have appeared in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano system. One is at location called Kistufell, while the second one is at the south-east part of the B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. Increase in earthquake activity in south-east part of B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano seems to increase harmonic tremor. I am not sure why that is. As of now (when this is written) no eruption has been confirmed in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano, the volcano is under glacier so confirmation is difficult at best.<\/p>\n

So far no<\/strong> major eruption has started in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. That might change without warning as this activity continues. There is a risk of large earthquakes taking place before such eruption. Since the crust in this part of Iceland is thick (up to 40 km thick) and last eruption in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano took place in the year 1794. The eruption in the year 1910 took place in a volcano named Hamarinn and is south-west of B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. Fissure eruptions are also a feature that B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano has, if this activity is going to result in such eruption is something that is impossible to know at current time.<\/p>\n

Current status changes fast. I post new information on this activity as needed and as things get more clearer on what is happening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
