Seismic activity still remains high By Sunna Karen Sigurþórsdóttir 15. september 2014 10:31 vísir/auðunn Twenty-three earthquakes were detected around Bárðarbunga, the eruption site, last night. The biggest one measured 5,0. Seismic activity has decreased from last night, yet still remains high. The amount of sulphur dioxide in air from the eruption site is still high. People in the east are encouraged to pay attention to the pollution. The danger to human health is mainly caused by sulphur dioxide (SO2). The most common symptoms are irritation in eyes, throat and respiratory tract and people can experience difficulties in breathing in high concentrations of SO2. Bárðarbunga News in English Tengdar fréttir Live webcam: "Similar in size to the largest Krafla eruptions" Magma started flowing in Holuhraun at 5:00 AM this morning. The eruption is located on the same fissure as the previous eruption on Friday morning, but is many times larger. This is the third eruption in the Bárðarbunga region in roughly a week, and the largest by far. 31. ágúst 2014 13:30 Air traffic not affected The eruption in the Holuhraun lava field in Iceland has no impact on air traffic from Keflavik airport, at least at this stage. 29. ágúst 2014 06:19 Magnificent images of the volcanic eruption Last night lava from the eruption encompassed over nine square kilometers. 4. september 2014 07:34 The fissure thought to be about one kilometre long A scientist at the IMO in Iceland located about five kilometres from the eruption in Holuhraun, north of Dyngjujökull, estimates that the fissure is about one kilometer long. 29. ágúst 2014 04:14 Stunning images from the volcanic eruption in Holuhraun at sunrise The eruption near Bardarbunga volcano is not considered a risk to international flight plans. 29. ágúst 2014 12:15 Amazing pictures from the eruption Armann Hoskuldsson, a scientist at the Institute of Earth Sciences at the University of Iceland, took some amazing photographs in the early morning when scientists witnessed the eruption in Holuhraun north of Dyngjujokull. 31. ágúst 2014 13:55 Two quakes over magnitude five and one large near Askja More seismicity was measured in the Bárðarbunga area tonight than the night before, with over 500 quakes registered between midnight and 6 AM. 27. ágúst 2014 10:39 The sulphur taste in your mouth will turn into sulphuric acid in your lungs The Holuhraun eruption is still ongoing, but scientists are setting off to determine if the pressure in the magma chamber has gone down or just moved elsewhere. Right now the primary concern is the presence of gas in the area. 2. september 2014 16:08 A noticeable decrease in seismicity Since midnight today, around 300 earthquakes have occurred in the area around Bardarbunga. 2. september 2014 13:11 15 metre subsidence in the centre of the caldera Measurements show large changes on the ice-surface. Up to 15 m subsidence has occurred in the centre of the caldera, which corresponds to a volume change of 0.25 km3. 6. september 2014 14:09 Eruption started again An eruption has started again in Holuhraun, just north of Dyngjujokull in Iceland. The eruption was visible from a live webcam at 5:49 AM local time. 31. ágúst 2014 06:34 Seven eruptions in Bárðarbunga area so far Magma has reached the surface 7 times in the past 3 weeks - which makes 7 eruptions. 10. september 2014 13:25 Pele´s hair: A fascinating phenomenon created by the volcano It was noticed blowing all around the fissure, but no one could explain or understand why. It looks like tufts of hair and feels like glass wool. 10. september 2014 13:45 Volcanic eruption confirmed north of Dyngjujökull Webcams show that lava eruption has started in Holuhraun, north of Dyngjujökull. 29. ágúst 2014 01:16 Over five hundred earthquakes since midnight A magnitude 5.0 earthquake was recorded on the Bárðarbunga caldera this morning, and another of magnitude 5.2 at 11:41 UTC in the same region. 1. september 2014 13:54 10-15 m deep cauldrons detected in Bardarbunga The cauldrons have been formed as a result of melting, possibly an eruption, uncertain when. 28. ágúst 2014 01:23 "A feast for photographers" The Holuhraun eruption has been ongoing for almost a week now, and many photographers dream of taking photos of it, but only media photographers are allowed into the area. 4. september 2014 13:25 Extent of the lava is now approximately 19 square km The eruptive activity at Holuhraun continues at similar intensity. The eruption sites are the same as before. 8. september 2014 14:17 Volcanic activity could go on for years "There's gonna be activity here for a few years. Not this particular eruption, it'll end and another one will start up elsewhere, and this will clearly erupt in a glacier," said volcanologist Ármann Höskuldsson last night. 4. september 2014 13:19 Mest lesið Flugslysið sem skók þjóðina og aldrei munu fást svör við Innlent Vaktin: Forsetakosningar í Bandaríkjunum Erlent Sakfelldur fyrir þátt í banaslysi en annar ökumaður aldrei fundist Innlent Kosningavaktin: Íslendingar ganga að kjörborðinu Innlent „Ég var barnið sem vildi ekki taka í höndina á kennaranum sínum“ Innlent Hagnast um hálfan milljarð og reiknar með þrefalt meira á næsta ári Innlent Segja verkfall kennara skapa ójafnræði og óréttlæti Innlent Sigurvegarar í keppni Musks ekki valdir af handahófi Erlent Ekki lægri meðalhiti frá árinu 1997 Veður Perlan þurfi að seljast fyrir áramót svo dæmið gangi upp Innlent
