An increased number of
earthquakes have been detected in and around Bárðarbunga volcano under
Vatnajökull glacier in the past days. In the last 24 hours, almost 130
earthquakes have been detected at Bárðabunga and about 30 in the
northern part of the intrusive dike.
The dike channels magma from Bárðarbunga to the Holuhraun eruption site north of Vatnajökull.
No quakes above 5.0 in magnitude have been detected in the area since October12, but five quakes between magnitude 4.5 and 4.8 hit yesterday, the Icelandic Met Office reported in its latest update this morning.
The eruption continues at a similar intensity. It was clearly visible on webcams from midnight until almost 8 this morning.
