Holuhraun and the rate of the subsidence of the Bárðarbunga caldera has also decreased substantially. Three
scenarios are considered most likely:
The eruption in Holuhraun continues until the subsidence of the Bárðarbunga caldera stops. The
eruption could come to an end in the next few weeks but it cannot be ruled out that a small eruption

The eruption in Holuhraun continues until the subsidence of the Bárðarbunga caldera stops. The
eruption could come to an end in the next few weeks but it cannot be ruled out that a small eruption
could go on for many months.
The volcanic fissure may lengthen southwards under Dyngjujökull, resulting in a jökulhlaup and an ash-
producing eruption. It is also possible that eruptive fissures could

have been the subject of focused investigation in real time. In these previous
cases, the magma has come from shallower levels in the crust. Until now, there
has therefore been a lack of information about the deepest parts of magmatic
systems, but the eruption at Fagradalsfjall has provided the scientific

Conclusion
The mass balance of glaciers and ice caps is governed by the amount of winter precipitation and by the summer temperature controlling ablation rates. A positive mass balance on Hofsjökull in this year did not come as a surprise, given the high levels of snowfall in Iceland during the winter and low melting rates due to a cool summer.
It would be premature to assume

meteorological/volcanic/driving conditions sites I have come across for any country that I have visited! I will be visiting your lovely country soon and feel most prepared thanks in large part to your up-to-date predictions and information. I am very much looking forward to visiting Iceland. Thanks again."
We do appreciate her comment, admitting that as for driving conditions we simply refer

suitable now should not be considered exhaustive accordingly. Another reason why we would not
limit ourselves is that we would like to put our fingers upon adaptation strategies belonging to the
“no regrets” approaches, which are prepared to react to climate risks in concerted efforts with other
socio-economical and political uncertainties that might come along in the future.
