Danger Zone Could Be Expanded Today

Danger Zone Could Be Expanded Today The eruption, seen from Reykjavík. mbl.is/Kristinn Magnússon Vala Hafstað Morgunblaðið reports. A meeting of scientists is being held this morning to discuss the next steps. Scientists at the Icelandic Met Office have calculated how fast and how far splashes of lava, coming from the crater, can be carried. They are between 5 and 15 cm (2-6 in) in diameter, and the magma jet from the crater reaches as high as 300 meters (990 ft) into the air. The scientists recommend the danger zone be defined as the area within a 500-meter radius from the eruption.

Reykjanes volcano has sore throat

03.05.2021 - 09:38 Mynd: Hólmfríður Dagný Friðjónsd / RUV The behaviour of the Geldingadalir/Meradalir volcanic eruption has become less stable over the weekend, with activity dying down significantly, followed by the highest lava fountains seen to date. The volcano was clearly visible from the capital city not only its glow, but also the erupting lava. A small earthquake of Magnitude 3.2 occurred just after 03.00 this morning and was felt by some people in nearby towns including Reykjavík. Its epicentre was three kilometres east of Kleifarvatn lake on the Reykjanes peninsula. The quake was likely a readjustment of the ground in the eruption area and did not cause alarm at the Icelandic Met Office, which monitors natural hazards. 

Could End of Eruption Be Near?

Could End of Eruption Be Near? mbl.is/Eggert Jóhannesson The volcanic activity by Fagradasfjall mountain, Southwest Iceland, suddenly changed shortly before midnight Saturday from being continuous to becoming pulsating. “Sometimes when such activity emerges, it is a sign the end of an eruption is near, but we haven’t experienced this during effusive eruptions before,” Páll Einarsson, geophysicist and professor emeritus, tells Morgunblaðið .

Páll notes that the bursts of eruption have been getting shorter and the pauses in between longer.
