But it seems very shallow.

I wouldn't give much for any trend analysis on that chart, let alone the straight line shown. Just a lot of small quakes all over, whatever that might mean.

Thanks to ozone and doc for the links, interesting.
Indeed ,some valuable links.
For anyone interested Nature has a very good overview of the recent situation and possibilities and why a repeat of Eyjafjallajökull's ash cloud related problems is thought to be unlikely re. recent events in Iceland.http://www.nature.com/news/icelandic-volcano-shakes-ominously-1.15747
Thanks, good article. It does seem any eruption would not cause problems outside Iceland and there will be no dangerous ash cloud. Wont stop the media scaremongering of course
I had thought the camera at http://baering.github.io/ was updating every minute or so, but I now find that it is actually streaming. I don't know how it is mounted but its interesting to see the camera shake fairly regularly, a big tremor may possibly knock it over.
Bárðarbunga caldera is possibly lowering,

It could be Michael and I had considered that. The shake, when it happens, last for 2 to 4 seconds, and seemed to coincide with some of the more powerful tremors, but I will bow to your experience in these matters.
LOL, just found out what it is. Nearly off the page at the bottom is a tick box, alongside it says "shake camera on updates" Hey ho
There seems to be quite an upsurge in activity during the past hour or so.
Click on the table link when the below is opened, to see.
The aviation code has just been updated to red meaning that "Eruption is imminent or in progress - significant emission of ash into the atmosphere likely"http://en.vedur.is/photos/volcanoes/volcano_status.png
Apparently a small eruption (currently?) has begun:
