I&#8217;ve been more busy today then I planned. I did manage to solve one network problem that I was having. The other network problem that I am having is out of my reach it seems (It&#8217;s a problem with the ISP network connection to my end I <em>think<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Status of B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano on 7-October-2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The largest earthquake today had the magnitude of 5,5. It took place at 10:22 UTC. Other earthquakes that happened today where smaller. It seems that around 5 &#8211; 20 earthquakes that are larger then magnitude 3,0 happen every day now in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. This has been going on now for almost two months.<\/li>\n<li>The eruption in Holuhraun continues far as I know. I am not sure on how large the lava field is today. Visibility has been poor to none today due to weather in this area at the moment.<\/li>\n<li>Tourists are continuing to trying to kill them self by getting close to the eruption site. The newest case involves a millionaire (or billionaire?) from Kazakhstan that landed close the lava field. They where lucky that wind did not change direction while they where there. The amount of SO2 close to the eruption has been recorded going up to 130.000 \u03bcg\/m\u00b3. That is good enough to kill instantly and melt people lungs (read up on that can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccohs.ca\/oshanswers\/chemicals\/chem_profiles\/sulfurdi.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).\u00a0 News item on this stunt can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.icelandmag.com\/article\/kazakh-millionaire-goga-ashkenazi-jumps-joy-restricted-area-close-holuhraun\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>I suspect that activity in the south part of B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano system is about to start. When it is going to start full force is impossible to know for sure.<\/li>\n<li>It is a question of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.volcano.si.edu\/volcano.cfm?vn=373040\" target=\"_blank\">Tungnafellsj\u00f6kull<\/a> volcano is getting unstable due the unrest in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. It appears to be in the same rift area, even if it is in a different volcano.<\/li>\n<li>Skrokkalda volcano appears to be stable for now (No GVP profile). This is important since Tungafellsj\u00f6kull volcano fissure swarm extents into it and it is next to B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano fissure swarm. This volcano has no information on-line about it, besides what I have written about it. It is an active volcano, but has been dormant for a long time. Some hydrothermal activity might happen in it on the surface.<\/li>\n<li>I don&#8217;t know how the status is on Hamarinn volcano (Loki-F\u00f6grufj\u00f6ll). I am however assuming that volcano to be <strong>unstable<\/strong>. It last erupted in July-2011 with a minor eruption that lasted some 8 to 10 hours in total. Eruptions in Hamarinn volcano happens without warning and without any earthquake activity, at least not high amount of earthquake activity far as I can tell.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141007_2330.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5117\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141007_2330.jpeg\" alt=\"141007_2330\" width=\"540\" height=\"596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141007_2330.jpeg 540w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141007_2330-271x300.jpeg 271w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nActivity today in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano and the 45 km long dyke. <em>Copyright of this image belongs to Icelandic Met Office.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/hkbz.svd_.23.46.utc_.on_.07.10.2014.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5118\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/hkbz.svd_.23.46.utc_.on_.07.10.2014.gif\" alt=\"hkbz.svd.23.46.utc.on.07.10.2014\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThis is how the earthquake did appear on my geophone in Heklubygg\u00f0.
