Volcanic Iceland: Earthquake with magnitude M 5,2 in Þorbjörn mountain (Fagradalsfjall mountain)!!!p1492

Driving | Askja | Iceland

well, as for now, it is holding allright, since magma is taking a walk up north.

A man suddenly appeared from behind the camera and has now approached the car.

He looked so defeated walking back to his van throwing his arms in the air.

Seems to be in trouble...

His name is Belzebuth

let's get a doom boner on here..

hypothetical scenario..

magnitude 7 quake cracks the roof, and the lot falls in, and mixes with the underlying magma chamber

what happened next?

The guy in the van dies.

here again... and no i'm not in Iceland!

You get entered in the hall of fails. :medsmad:

Hi Luis

would explain the flailing arms

wait, I'M a fucking van driver!!

ah, i see.....

Will THIS have any impact on the methane release currently occurring in the Arctic?

It will be a "tectonic event" which has the ability to cause large rupture ... thereby releasing more methane.

Anyone has any insight into the formation of the seismic plates in the two locations and how they may be interrelated?

Not a clue about the arctic but your question made me wonder about all those recent methane vents discovered in the Atlantic, I believe along the east coast.

Edit to add link I had to find

Yes. Indeed. Most commenters interviewed in Press last seven days have said this. Even I have noticed that its not normal have 1000 quakes per days :-) :-) and have been avery active collect grahic evidence, from IMO and other available Internet sources. 8-)

Looking at chart, the intrusion has reached the “ring” road that encircles Askja / Öskjuvatn / Mountain (Volcano). Trivial question is, does it have a magma chamber or sill, still intact after the 1875 caldera event. My take on it, is despite reports to the contrary, It could have something below 8-10 km, if so, this meeting could trigger (explosive) event.
Anyways if it breaks “up”, rather than continiue, and eventually stalling, it might hit water table (from below) and trigger phreatic-magmatic (Ash-y) event. *not expert* 8-)

Luís...and now what? Where's the magma? No pressure?

No 6.0+ quakes yet, do have a feeling we're sorta due for one though pretty soon..

Stuck! Big quake later...

for shure...

i don't think so...pressure is going out...

or
the stuck point will explode and a mega HQ will destroy the roof of the Caldera

someone wanting to claim on their insurance lol

Fot example you can see here that a big fall in pressure and then you will get a magmatic response with big quakes [link to hraun.vedur.is]

hummmm...so the pressure is still real high, correct?

Well, when you look at the time-lapse Luís posted, you can see several points in which the magma gets "stuck" for a little while, and then suddenly it breaks through and... accelerates.
