The IMO and the Institute of Earth Sciences at the University of Iceland have been working on mapping the ice with airborne laser measurement (LiDAR) since 2008. By the summer of 2012 all glaciers larger than 10 km² had been measured, and the analysis

Expedition scientists measured gas emissions at ice cauldrons along the caldera rim, these cauldrons are formed by
subglacial geothermal activity. These measurements show little change in gas emissions since last year’s expedition.
The depth and width of the cauldrons has not been measured for quite some time, such measurements can only be

year's expedition. The depth and width of the cauldrons has not been measured for quite some time, such measurements can only be carried out with airborne surveillance. Therefore no statement can be made on changes in geothermal activity from last year.
A new seismographic station was installed at approximately 1600 meters elevation northwest of the Bárðarbunga caldera on June 5th. The station
