 Allseasons-Si the weekend is still young 😁. There is still time for this eruption.  I originally thought between march 1-8th but could be either spot on or months out.  
 

I guess if we truly knew then we wouldn’t have to evacuate every time a swarm occurs.  Could happen in 10 minutes time lol

A slight drop on the GPS with a westward trend this morning at Svartsengi but the inflation is back-up again and almost at the same level before yesterday's intrusion began, as we saw with the intrusion near Keilir last year after the July-Aug Litli-Hrutur eruption, there is always the possibility that the ground is now so elasticated that any seismic swarm/s simply can't be registered by seismometers in certain areas.

No halt in the slow rising of the area so doubtful the pressure has been reduced so still think it's a matter of time before the eruption starts.

Apart sengi the GPS stations have shown a drop and levelling off of the uplift. This could mean some more magma has seeped in to dike or that the magma input has reduced or stopped. The other possibility is that the rock can't rise any more and if that's case we should be seeing more earthquakes which we are not. The general pause in the uplift probably means the eruption could well be delayed a while.

In Iceland a mag 2.8 just hit under the fissure so perhaps another weekend event?  
 

It loves to party at weekends this volcano 😂

All stations are now showing inflation once again with the ones in the west recovering what they lost. To me that suggests that there was another intrusion somewhere somewhere in the western side possibly. So back to the waiting game.

Another intrusion event or eruption is more than likely within the next 48hr as the magma accumulating beneath Svartsengi is reaching it's volume criticality, and as with last week the eastern 'push' of the magma chamber is beginning to trigger earthquakes again (this time towards Keilir). Based on the pattern behaviour last time a similar signature was seen i'd estimate a intrusion/eruption at some-point within the next 12 hours.

Almost time!
 First 2 hours of this upcoming eruption is going to be spectacular so if you can, get to Iceland now 👽🌋

 

I will be flying tomorrow south to canaries again, let’s see if we can make Teide erupt this time or at least get a large earthquake again!  🙂

No eruption (yet) this morning although EQ activity is slightly elevated in background-levels this morning compared to all day yesterday with a few at shallow depths. Magma inflow was calculated to have been at 1.2 mill consistently over the past 3 days , and for the chamber as a whole it's now estimated to be at a volume of 14.8 million.

Any eruption now would be happening at a lower chamber volume than the January eruption, however give/take another 2 days and it'll have surpassed that rate by inflow volume and we'll be entering into new territory seeing just how much the ground at Svartsengi can handle what's beneath it. Something will have to give, by force, if all is still quiet by Wednesday.
