Strong earthquake activity continues in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga<\/a> volcano. Strongest earthquake in the past 48 hours had the magnitude of 4,7. Many smaller earthquakes have been also taking place in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano and there are no signs that earthquake activity is about to end. Even if it has dropped from it’s peak in September to November.<\/p>\n According to Channel 2 (St\u00f6\u00f0 2) news, B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano has been preparing for an eruption since the year 1974 at least (this might have started years earlier without anyone knowing about it), possibly earlier. This means there is huge amount of magma inside the volcano and possibly in the deep root system (my view) that is ready to erupt. There is also high risk of eruption taking place under the glacier, that risk is going to increase once the eruption in Holuhraun stops. Since it is clear in my view that Holuhraun cannot erupt (at least there is a good chance of it) all the magma that is now in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. There is always the question if all that magma is going to erupt, the chance of that are good based on current factors. That might change without warning.<\/p>\n
