I don&#8217;t know how much B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano has inflated since September-2015 but that must be considerable amount since a earthquake of magnitude 4,0 means a slip of few millimetres (I don&#8217;t have the information of much movement happens when a earthquake happen. I didn&#8217;t find the data about it). Over the past one year there has been a lot of earthquakes taken place in the B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano caldera, suggesting a rapid inflation of the volcano. It is not known if this is going to result in a eruption soon or sometimes later, all that is known is that magma is flowing into shallow magma chamber from deep within the volcano.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Donations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please remember to support my work with donations.
