Interesting slight increase in quakes southwards beneath Dyngjujokull.

Dike still hasn’t quit the idea of making of this a longer fissure rifting eruption, rather than focusing on a shield volcano sort of single vent.

Yes impressive! Do you know exactly where this spot is? We have a new dyke or eruption on Barda caldera?

Evening all.

Cow's webpage has won the "my favourite webpage of all time" award :)

caldera... sub-glacier eruption has started!

Do you think so?

Yes. You have harmonic tremor + big quakes in caldera. Something has dramaticaly changed there...

Magma trying to find an escape?

yes. by the way do you like the new thread title?

Luis, please give me your certainty percentage on your claim that an eruption has started. Thanks in advance!

:) Yep...that's Breaking News!

That is an impressive pattern for sure. Interesting to wait and see how this evening unfolds.

"Sub-glacier eruption likely in the Barda caldera"...might be better.

Agree

So can this trigger a collapse?

It's think thing is gonna blow tonite

Please i don't know what to say... and in fact a sub-glacier can start without you have the eruption going out of it. For me it already started, lets see what we will have next.

Sorry forgot to sign in, it's me :-)

A train of big quakes does not sound very well, not really the proper way to put it - just my opinion

and this small inflaction now can be from new magma plug.

This EQs series were all below the caldera. Something is happening for sure.

I know a volcano that is able to share some magma with Barda.
