Live Volcano Watch in 4K – Grindavík, Iceland (Cam A)

IMO September 15: Land uplift and magma accumulation continue

Deformation measurements continue to show uplift in the Svartsengi area. Over the past three months, the land has risen by approximately five centimetres.

The uplift indicates that pressure continues to build at a depth of several kilometres.

As long as uplift continues, the most likely scenario remains that a magma intrusion will propagate from Svartsengi into the Sundhnúkur crater row. This could lead to an eruption.

It is not possible to predict when such an event might occur. As more time passes since the last event, uncertainty about the timing of the next event increases. A short lead time must still be expected, as was the case before previous eruptions along the Sundhnúkur crater row.
