Iceland Review cited geologists who warned, "The current earthquake swarm on the Reykjanes peninsula suggests a more aggressive magma intrusion than in 2021 and 2022."
One expert told Icelandic public broadcaster RUV that an eruption could be imminent and possibly in the area between the mountains Keilir and Fagradalsfjall:
"If this continues we think that there is a possibility that an eruption could occur within a few days," said Magús Freyr Sigurkarlsson, a natural hazards expert at the Icelandic MET Office.
Other experts believe if an eruption is observed, it'll be very similar to the ones seen over the last several years.
Everybody is always having fun with eruptions in Iceland. I believe that grey area on the map below is the capital city, Reykjavik. Pretty darn close to the action.
Two words: Red Mist.

ReplyDeleteSomeone tell Tom Scott!!!
ReplyDelete@LL - and lots of high-flying grey, gritty mist
@anon - What are they going to do about it? Hold a press conference? Vaccuum it all up and put it on a ship it back to Reykjavik?
Maybe if we give up petrochemicals and pay more taxes this sort of thing will stop.
