Good brief rewiew of today Volcanocafe's Iceland news  made by Luisport here http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1754670/pg13

I would like to draw in addition attention to some key aspects of discussion.

We see some days real activity of Hekla and Katla.

At first many doubted it, have been then compelled to recognize its presence, and now a main point is as them to interpret. Thus if at first the basic attention has been involved in Katla now, as well as I from the very beginning, have concentrated on Hekla.
I will illustrate it with some very interesting and discussion important points.

Hekla microseisms stiil on the yesterday high level

and since yesterday the best minds are occupied by finding-out where magma and what consequences can be flows:

Problem I have is that Hekla is doing something unorthodox for being Hekla, and then we are talking about the world record holding volcano on the field of being unorthodox.
Hekla is deflating. Magma is rapidly leaving the northeastern half of the volcano (Isakot/Burfell and Hestalda), it is still unclear if it is going south or not.
This explains the microseisms recorded now at Mjoaskard, compression as one or more of the magmachambers get deflated.

It could actually equaly well be motion in the hypthetical subduction zone… Or something else like this.
And note, I am note able to plot it out really… I can not really see it clear enough in my poor woolly head to get what is actually happening. As far as I know there are no fissures outside of Heklas fissure, except Litla Hekla

And that would make an explosive mix if anything… If the Hekla lava met ordinary basalt from Iceland…
But very very unlikely and has as far as anyone knows never happened in Heklas history.

Carl le Strange says:

Could though be as simple as it going into some southern resrvoir… and it will have a southern eruption this time around.
But, if the deflation continues I will most likely loose my bet without a counterpart.
Oh…
and here is the link…

Hekla magma is being sucked into Katla as she approaching eruption?
My immediate wild bet.
But not very likely.

Carl le Strange says:

If that had happened Katla would have blown like a bomb…
The magmas of Hekla is totally incompatible with any other volcano on iceland and would result in the most disgusting and explosive magma possible…

Let me say it clearly. Heklas magma is produced in a totally different process than any other magma on Iceland. It is produced by pressure melt through subduction. It is not hotspot magma at all."
