It grows every day, I don&#8217;t know how much.<\/li>\n<li>There is now a large <a href=\"http:\/\/volcano.oregonstate.edu\/cinder-cones\" target=\"_blank\">cinder cone<\/a> (also information <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cinder_cone\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> from Wikipedia) (also called scoria cone) building up in Holuhraun. It is my best guess that is around 60 &#8211; 80 meters high already. It might be higher, it hard for me to be sure since I am just basing my view of recent videos of the eruption area.<\/li>\n<li>The erupting fissure appears to be 400 &#8211; 600 meters long, based on videos that have been posted on-line in recent days.<\/li>\n<li>There is earthquake activity along the dyke, some of it is now under the glacier and that is worrying. Since it might mean that magma is trying to find a new path to the surface. This happens because the current eruption in Holuhraun is not big enough and the dyke can only expand so much to the sides.<\/li>\n<li>Largest earthquake today took place at 17:59 UTC and had the magnitude of 4,8. Second largest earthquake today took place at 02:44 UTC and had the magnitude of 4,2.<\/li>\n<li>Storm weather has prevented any good observations from the ground of the eruption, or at least limited them. New storm is expected tomorrow (02-October-2014) on Friday (03-October-2014). The storm on Friday is going to be snow storm in north Iceland and up in high mountains. This includes Holuhraun.<\/li>\n<li>B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano caldera continues to drop around the same rate as before.<\/li>\n<li>SO2 pollution is a big problem in Iceland now. With highest peak going up to 5800 micrograms per square meter (\u03bcg\/m<sup>3<\/sup>) for an average of 10 minutes today.<\/li>\n<li>Nothing else to report far as I know.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Donations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If people want to support my work but not use PayPal they can support me directly.

I am going to stay in Iceland for maximum of three years, I hope no more then two years if my plan works out as I expect to. After that time I am going to move back to Denmark and try to due it that time around so that I can stay permanently. I did figure out few days ago that I just want to live in Denmark.
