Aviation color code

The aviation color code (ACC) follows recommendations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and provides pilots, the public, and aviation authorities with information about the status of volcanoes that could affect air traffic.

The aviation color code is independent of the color code also issued by the Icelandic Meteorological Office, known as the “Volcano Alert Level System (VALS).” The VALS color code is intended to convey information about potential impacts on the ground, and therefore, these two color codes may differ at any given time.

Activity summary:
The eruption that began in the Sundhnúksgígaröð series on May 29 has ceased, with no activity observed in the crater since June 22. The latest measurement of SO2 flux was done on friday 21 June and it showed very low values of about 1 kg/s. Approximately ten days after the eruption began, ground uplift in Svartsengi resumed, indicating ongoing magma accumulation. The ground uplift has been steady since then, but the rate is slower than what was observed between the previous events. The aviation color code is changed to yellow for the time being and it will be revised as soon as the activity in the area will start escalating again.
