Few short points on current activity in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga<\/a> volcano.<\/p>\n There are also signs that this might be a start of a new eruption cycle for B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. Not all events in this cycle are going to lead to an eruption. This is the same pattern as took place in Krafla<\/a> volcano during it’s eruption cycle [Wikipedia information<\/a>, University of Iceland information<\/a>]. It remains to be seen if this idea is true in part or whole.<\/p>\n Earthquake activity remains stable, it goes up and down and currently there has been less activity then yesterday (21-August-2014).<\/p>\n Largest earthquake so far is an magnitude 4,7 earthquake (EMSC information here<\/a>) that took place yesterday (21-August-2014). A magnitude 4,3 earthquake (EMSC information here<\/a>) took place today (22-August-2014) at 15:41. This strong earthquakes happened due to the lowering of the caldera as explained above. If the dyke intrusion continues, more earthquakes are going to start happening. It is not known how much magma, if any is coming from depth (mantle depth) at current time with lack of deep earthquakes in all this activity, it is impossible to know if any magma is coming up from the mantle.<\/p>\n News in English<\/strong><\/p>\n Met Office: 25 km long dike formed<\/a> (R\u00fav.is) Updated at 21:17 UTC.<\/em> This is a short update. I am still a little sick (sigh) so it’s a bit hard for me to work properly. Information here is going to get outdated quickly and without warning. Few short points on current activity in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. Earthquake activity is high today (22-August-2014). There is less earthquake activity today than … <\/p>\n\n

\nHarmonic tremor remains high even during less earthquake activity. The high harmonic tremor is most likely taking place due to magma inflow under ground. It does not appear to be connected with earthquake activity (for most part).
