More about Krafla:
It contains a 10 x 8 km caldera.
In 1724, Krafla began an eruption that lasted for five years. This eruption was called "The Myvatn Fires." It was named for the nearby area of Myvatn, which is a rich farming district and very well populated. During this eruption, lava flowed from a ~7 mile (11 km) long fissure until it reached ~12.5 miles (20 km) in length after one year

Hi Carl and Others, Just a question:
How much activity i.e: Harmonic Tremoring, Earthquakes etc… Would be required before we should worry?

Probably more than this.
But since this is unchartered territory nobody really knows how much “more than this” is required. In a way anything new is a bit worrying"
