There is possible that some dyke intrusion is happening in the volcano but evidence remain unclear. This might also be crustal adjustment after B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano eruption in 2014 to 2015. I don&#8217;t think anything more is going to happen besides earthquake activity. Last eruptions happened sometimes 10.000 to 12.000 years ago and those are uncertain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Donations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please remember to support my work with donations.
