And even an English article about Hekla in Icelandic website of RÚV, the National Radio and Television Broadcasting company: [link to ruv.is]

The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police (NCIP) and the Police Commissioner at Hvolsvöllur declare an uncertainty phase, which is the lowest level of warning, because of seismic activity in Mount Hekla. There are no observable signs that an eruption of Hekla is imminent.

The Icelandic Met Office has informed the Civil Protection and Emergency Management of NCIP about unusual seismic activity in Mount Hekla. The Icelandic Met Office has raised the ICAO aviation color code to yellow concerning air traffic, which means that mount Hekla is showing an unusual activity.

The uncertainty phase means that supervision has been raised on that course of events that may threaten public health and safety, or that environment or inhabited area may be threatened. Declaring an uncertainty phase is a part of the work process in the setup of public safety to secure a formal communication between response teams and to secure dissemination of information.

In light of all of this the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and the Police Commissioner at Hvolsvöllur warn people from hiking on mount Hekla while this uncertainty phase is in force.

Note from the Icelandic Meteorological Office:

The Icelandic Meteorological Office has changed the aviation colour-code of Hekla volcano from green to yellow, signifying elevated unrest above a known background level.

Since 10 March 2013, at least seven micro-earthquakes, ranging in size from magnitude 0.4 to 1, have been detected over a small area ~4.5 km to the north-east of the volcano's summit. Sourced mainly at 11 to 12 km depth, these earthquakes have a high-frequency character suggestive of brittle fracturing rather than magma movements. At Hekla, such a clustering of earthquakes in time and space is unusual in between eruptions.

Continuous measurements of borehole strain and ground-based GPS show no changes in crustal deformation. The only measurable change is increased earthquake activity, although the earthquake rate is too low to assess whether this episode has peaked already. The change from green to yellow is a precautionary step due to increased earthquake activity. To date, there are no observable signs that an eruption of Hekla is imminent.

Yes, according to historic data it needs to go at least 60 to 100 years without eruption for anything significant to happen. After all it is one of the most active volcanoes in the country. Will be interesting to follow but it won't be anything other than a minor short lived event. Certainly no doom.

Megadoom!

:)

Yes it will probably be a "normal" regular Hekla eruption, but you never know for sure. These 7 earthquakes over the past days are unusual. Up until now it has always been thought that Hekla only has volcanic earthquakes just before it eruptions, so this is something unusual like the news sites say. That might mean the eruption might be unusual too. Or it could mean that those quakes just weren't monitored previously.

Iceland review

Volcano Activity in Iceland on Tuesday, 26 March, 2013 at 11:57 (11:57 AM) UTC.

Description
The civil protection department has declared a level of uncertainty because of seismic activity in the volcano Hekla in South Iceland as announced by the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and chief of police in Hvolsvollur shortly after 11 am this morning. The announcement states that the Icelandic Met Office informed the civil protection department about unusual seismic activity in Hekla. The Icelandic Met Office also raised the surveillance level of Hekla to yellow because of air traffic, which means that the volcano is showing unusual activity. The level of uncertainty means that the course of events, which in latter stages could lead to the health and safety of people, the environment and inhabited areas being compromised, will be followed closely. The level of uncertainty is declared to inform the parties who would help with evacuating areas near Hekla to be prepared and is part of the civil protection department's planning. It is the lowest of three levels. The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and chief of police in Hvolsvollur warn people against traveling to Hekla while the level of uncertainty is active. Hekla last erupted in 2000.

Thank's!

Ditto!

Good catch, Luisport.

The 2004 Indonesia quake happened due to gamma ray burst. It could have been predicted.

Yet greater sign there be to see;
As man nears latter century.
Three sleeping mountains gather breath, And spew out mud, ice and death. An earthquake swallow town and town;
In lands as yet to me unknown. And Christian one fights Christian two And nations sigh, yet nothing do. And yellow men great power gain;
From a mighty bear with whom they’ve lain.

Afternoon Luisport!
Has anyone heard of Mother Shipton? Notice the Three sleeping Mountains... possibly Katla, Hekla and the other one??

BRING IT ON GOD hahahah

Really? No one looked at the date of the video? July 6th 2011. LOL

Translation
National Commissioner of Police and the Commissioner of Hvolsvöllur declare confidence level of civil eruptions of Mt. The Icelandic Meteorological Office has informed the Civil RLS unusual Seismicity at Mt. IMO has also increased monitoring points Hekla to yellow due to air traffic, which means that the volcano show unusual activity.

Uncertainty level civil means for increased monitoring of the actions of that at a later stage could lead to health and human safety, environmental or building is threatened. To describe the level of uncertainty is part of the processes in the organization of civil protection to ensure formal communication and information. Uncertainty level is declared to inform the appropriate emergency and is a process in civil emergency planning and the lowest of the three.

In light of this, will the National Police Commissioner and the Commissioner of Hvolsvöllur warn people on journeys while Hekla uncertainty level is valid.

hmmm, was gonna make a gif yesterday about an odd little spot on Hekla too, on the flank directly facing the cam, so I'll do it now instead...

There was some tremors detected for about 40 minutes but that has since stopped.

There was no earthquakes at the time so maybe just some noise on the sensor.

nice shots of February and week ago Hekla steams

Again... Thanks, L.

The belief that Hekla was the gate to Hell persisted until the 1800s.[4]

There is still a legend that witches gather on Hekla for Easter.[6]

The Icelanders are very uncertain of their uncertainty.

especially the ones who have had their mortgages forgiven?

hang on, isn't that ALL of them?
