This is important as it can reflect changes of the underlying
geothermal system. In addition, satellite images will be acquired in the next
days to identify possible changes of the ice-surface. No significant changes
have been seen in the satellite images this year (last image required end of
January).The

The event originates from the subglacial lake Grímsvötn. The event is expected to be small, with maximum discharge on the order of magnitude 1000 cubic meters per second. The maximum of the flood is expected to be around the end of the week.
Conductivity measurements indicate a considerable increase of geothermal contribution to the water of the river. Simultaneously, the ice on the subglacial lake

Additional remark from specialist in hydrology: The heaviest rainfall is expected around mountains and ice caps, where cumulative rainfall amounts will exceed 100 mm. Rising river levels are expected around the Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull ice caps

This decision has been taken in light of recent seismic and geodetic data from around the volcano, in addition to other measurements such as satellite-based thermal observations and radar-profiling flights.
Following the end of the Holuhraun eruption on 27 February 2015, Bárðarbunga has exhibited no further signs of escalating unrest. Seismicity levels within the volcano's caldera

The ongoing eruption at Holuhraun, which began in at the end of August 2014, is very rich in gas. We have to go 150 years back to find an event (Trölladyngja) that had a comparable impact on Iceland and its

This seismic sequence is located close to the western end of the Húsavík Flatey Fault and it can not be ruled out that it will effect the stress field of this fault. A rifting episode during the Krafla fires 1975-1984 caused a stress decrease on the Húsavík Flatey Fault and stress is accumulating on the fault system again since
