No changes have been observed in Hekla volcano, there was a minor earthquake swarm in Hekla volcano few days ago but that did not result in anything. There continues to be a risk of a strong earthquake in this area. When that might happen or if that is going to happen is impossible to know.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Donation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please remember to support me and my work with donations. Everything helps.
