Quite a jump in activity in Iceland with multiple quakes approaching over M4 in the inflation zone. No volcanic tremors as of yet but i wonder how long can this uplift last before something gives in the crust.

Yes, it will be interesting to see how this develops. As well as the earthquake activity the last few days have seen over 45mm of ground inflation.

An interesting update with regards to the ongoing swarms & uplift on the peninsula in Iceland.

Would be the worst possible moment for a natural disaster. An earthquake in a lockdowned city would spread the virus everywhere

For anyone old enough to be remember, or just more generally for information, it is 40 years to the day since the eruption of Mount St Helens.

I wonder if Grímsvötn (SW Iceland) is getting ready for another eruption in the near future.

In this pic I think I am about 6 miles away and this area was devastated but is now regenerating as part of a strict conservation area


There is usually a small cumulus cloud above the crater showing it is still fairly hot in there

EDIT - found the video again, was from 2004! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2ivI-WIunc 


An interesting watch though.
