on the Eastern Volcanic zone and consists of a
central volcano rising to 1490 m.a.s.l. and is about 60 km long fissure swarm.
The volcano has been highly active during Holocene and has erupted 23 times in
historical time, with its last eruption occurring in 2000. It is considered the
third most active volcano in Iceland. About 100 eruptions are known from the
system in the past 9000 years, both effusive

more favourable. The autumn (September to November) was the most favourable part of the
year, until the end of November when there was an unusually heavy snowfall in the
Southwest. The weather in December was stormy.

in-house RSAM data format to the new Tremv csv format. In addition to developing the
ALERT module, this project involved several updates to the original Tremv program.
