“seismic activity has been increasing again up from seven o’clock,” says Kristin Jónsdottir, an earthquake expert at the Meteorological Office in conversation with DV. She said the earthquake swarm at Bárðarbunga, one of Iceland’s most powerful volcanoes, have been active since last night, now growing again. It describes the uncertainty by earthquake (specialists) earlier today.
“This is such a great activity. This is the strongest earthquake we have seen in this volcano since records began, “says Kristin.
– Flooding in Jökulsá – “The main threat right now is flood risk,” she describes in more detail how this scenario could work. “There is a dynamic of movement in the Earth’s (Magma) crust several kilometers and it is moving closer to the surface, and when she does she breaks the crust that is above it, and then have the earth itself. It’s these earthquakes we recommend when magma is moving and pushing everything around them. Deform the rock around it, “explains Kristin. “There’s really thick glacier over so when magma comes up and meets the glacier, it is the energy of the melt this ice. If this activity continues, the melting glacial ice there this water would not stop for very long, but there we go then something started. It is very likely that it will be down to the Glacial River in the mountains, “says Kristin.

Kristin says it is not clear how the chain of events evolve if the magma reaches the surface. “I’m not sure what happens first, it may well be that it will first flood and other devices even longer. It depends very much on the circumstances and how powerful eruption is, where it occurs, how thick the ice is on top. He’s really misthick in this area, so it is everything where it occurs, whether it is 100 meters thick ice and 800 meter thick ice. All of this is important and why it is so important to tap earthquakes so we know exactly where they land, “says Kristin.
