This dyke intrusion appeared in 2011 after the minor eruption in July that year (this is my view, at the moment it has not been approved by scientists). It is unclear how this dyke intrusion is evolving, but there might be some risk of eruption from it if the pressure increases. Currently there is nothing that suggests an eruption is about to happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today (23-June-2016) a deep earthquake swarm took place in Katla volcano.
