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

our neighbours went missing for over 4 weeks. well, they spent 2 weeks in florida, then couldnt get a flight back due to the last volcanic episode. so, instead of hanging on in florida (where flights resumed a few days later), they got on a container ship, which took 16 days to get to the uk

Yeah but Ebola uses Boats as well!

The 300 quake barrier (per 48 hrs) has fallen. Swarm continiues, at steady pace.

LOL....what a trip!

dont say that, i am sailing from portsmouth to bilbao. but not via sierra leone, so probably ok

And the ash will mean yet another year without a summer. This is already year 2. *sigh*

somebody get up there and plant a webcam!

No, but I have few Portuguese friends and sometimes we party together. All of them are very religious, so I attended baptisms and first communions. I am especially close to one family who fly to Portugal very often for business. They even build a church in there.

You have to came here! It's great!

Good! Let the chair begin!

Ohai, I'm new!!!

THIS!!!!for the win Alex.

Great thread Luis, as always, thank you for your detailed reporting.

Thanks Luis, maybe one day... Keep up the good work!

Here is Canary Island seismo. Hard to interpret this. Maybe hemispheric magna is on the move.

Plus, check out the density drop at 07:00UTC, some theories have it that that is big indicator of pending earthquake.

i agree with this theory

The eruption of Grimsvötn in 1996 took three days to melt through the ice shield, if I remember correct. I would expect a similar amount of time here.

It looks like that might of happened an hour ago. a quake 9.0 km north of grimsjall

Short update Bárðarbunga volcano at 17:52 UTC

This is a short update on current status on Bárðarbunga volcano.

Uncertainty level has been declared on Bárðarbunga volcano and it status has been raised to yellow. There are fluxuation in earthquake activity, this is normal since earthquake activity in volcanoes is never close to constant in this type of situations. There is also a storm taking place in the area at the moment, that is lowering what is detected by the SIL stations that are close to Bárðarbunga volcano.

Largest earthquakes recorded so far have the magnitude of 3,1 and 3,5. There is a chance that more magnitude 3,0 have taken place but have not been reviewed yet by geologist at Icelandic Meteorological Office due the amount of earthquakes taking place at the moment.

In the past few hours the harmonic tremors around Bárðarbunga volcano have been dropping slowly. The drop in harmonic tremor has not been followed by drop in earthquake activity. At least that is not the case when this is written. This means that the magma that is on the move there still has not yet found a pathway to the surface, even if some small part of it has done so in possibly in one or two eruptions vents under the thick glacier. If the harmonic tremor stops completely without the earthquake activity stopping it means that magma is still on the move there and it might look for a new pathway to the surface. When and where that might happen is impossible to know at current time, but once the magma has clear path to the surface, even if it is under a glacier all earthquake activity is going to stop (for most part).

Wow, still?? It's been like this for days now...
