It appears that at 21:22 UTC (on 29-January-2015) a possible minor eruption might have taken place somewhere along the B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga<\/a> volcano caldera rim or in it slopes. I don’t have any confirmation yet<\/strong>, but this is what the tremor data suggest at the moment. This minor eruption appears to have lasted around 30 – 55 minutes in total. If there was an high amount of glacier melt the glacier water is going to start appearing in J\u00f6kuls\u00e1 \u00e1 fj\u00f6llum or other glacier rivers that come from Vatnaj\u00f6kull in next 8 – 18 hours. Depending on the router the water takes. I don’t know where it is going to go, but the highest chance is that it is going to appear in J\u00f6kuls\u00e1 \u00e1 fj\u00f6llum glacier river. This minor eruption was followed by a minor earthquake swarm, the largest earthquake in that swarm had the magnitude of ~4,5 according to automatic results.<\/p>\n

If anything more happens I am going to post update soon as possible. I am going to write about the earthquake swarm on the Reykjanes Ridge tomorrow. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
