Last night (26-December-2015) two magnitude 3,3 earthquakes took place in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga<\/a> volcano. This earthquake activity was followed by a change in activity on 2 – 4Hz band, I’m not sure why that is, it might signal a inflow of magma at depth into shallow parts of the crust. This is however only guess on my part, this change in signal and it’s origin.<\/p>\n

It is my view<\/strong> that the risk of eruption in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano is increasing fast and B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano might erupt without warning at any time. Iceland Met Office holds a different view and that is there is no major risk of eruption in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano at the moment, even if magma continues to flow into B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano.<\/p>\n

The magnitude 3,3 earthquake in north-east part of B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano caldera had the depth of 0,1 km. The magnitude 3,3 earthquake in south-east part of the caldera had the depth of 2,5 km. At 08:20 UTC this morning a magnitude 1,0 took place in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano, that earthquake had the dept of 20,3 km and that suggest the magma inflow might be more than current ideas and models suggest (this earthquake is on the edge of the volcano, not far from Tungnafellsj\u00f6kull<\/a> volcano). I don’t know what is going to happen next in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. Since nobody knows for sure what is going to happen next in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano.<\/p>\n

Update 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

The earthquake activity in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano has now created a half-circle of earthquakes in the caldera. Over the past 24 hours there has been slight increase in activity in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano after the magnitude 3,3 earthquakes. There has also been some odd harmonic tremor spikes around B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano, the problem is that at the moment there is bad weather taking place at this location in Vatnaj\u00f6kull glacier area. So this might just be wind. I have to wait until the weather gets better in order to see if anything changes.<\/p>\n

I don’t know if any more activity is going to take place. This might die down, it is difficult to be sure about what happens next.<\/p>\n
