how the situation will develop. Four scenarios are still considered most likely:
The migration of magma could stop, resulting in a gradual reduction in seismic activity and no further
eruptions.
The dike could reach the Earth’s surface causing another eruption, possibly on a new fissure. Lava
flow and (or) explosive activity cannot be excluded.
The intrusion reaches the surface and another

scenarios are still likely:
o The migration of magma could stop, resulting in a gradual reduction in

o The dyke could reach the Earth’s surface at different locations outside the
glacier. Lava flow and/or explosive activity cannot be excluded.
o The intrusion again reaches the surface under the glacier and possibly leads
to a significant eruption
