GPS measurements show continuing slow land depression towards the centre of Bardarbunga as has been the trend
over the last two weeks.
No change was detected in water monitoring that cannot be explained with changing weather.

Yesterday a high concentration of SO2 was measured around lake Myvatn (2000 microgram pr. cubic meter) and last
night in Reydarfjordur (2600 microgram pr. cubic meter). The Environmental Agency of Iceland is waiting for
shipment of SO2 meters that will be put up around Iceland.

lake is a wall of ice. On the northern side a tephra wall rises 20 meters
above the water. The ice walls at the southwestern corner of the crater
are melting, i.e. at the site of the vent that was active 4 – 6 June. The
rate of melting is assumed to be about one cuber meter per second.
Seismic tremor: Low tremor level. Pulses are observed off and on.

York collaborated in installing a seismograph network throughout Iceland, including a network of five seismographs in the interior of the country. During the same period the number of stations in the IMO network increased markedly.
A new era of seismic monitoring began in Iceland in 1991, when a digital seismic system, the SIL system, was upgraded to fully automatic operation. It was designed
