As with \u00d6r\u00e6faj\u00f6kull volcano, earthquakes do not happen in Esjufj\u00f6ll volcano unless it is connected to magma movements. I don&#8217;t know anything useful about Esjufj\u00f6ll since no eruptions are documented in the last 12.000 years. There might have been a small eruption in the year 1927 that lasted for 4 days, but I don&#8217;t have any useful information about that eruption if it happened. If an eruption does happen in Esjufj\u00f6ll a glacier flood would go down to J\u00f6kuls\u00e1rl\u00f3n (this webcamera <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livefromiceland.is\/webcams\/jokulsarlon\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180206_0200.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180206_0200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"596\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180206_0200.png 540w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180206_0200-272x300.png 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nEarthquake activity in \u00d6r\u00e6faj\u00f6kull and Esjufj\u00f6ll volcano. <em>Copyright of this image belongs to Icelandic Met Office.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Donations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please remember to support my work with donations.
