Hello everybody!

The eruption from the Svartsengi system on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland has now been erupting for a cool 44 days.
Activity in the past 3 weeks has been really stable with no signs that the eruption is ending anytime soon.

On April 27th, lava flowed over the barriers northeast of Grindavík. This was to be expected as lava has been building up at these walls for some time now.
Fortunately, this is not much of a problem as this flow is so small with the only concern being possible moss fires which could be a threat to Grindavík.

As most of you know, uplift, and hence magma accumulation, has been ongoing alongside the eruption which has created a lot of uncertainty.
The estimated amount of accumulated magma is now well within the range where intrusions have occurred previously so experts and volcano watchers are expecting something to
happen at any time now.

The largest earthquake in Bárðarbunga since its previous eruption, Holuhraun, back in 201415, struck on April 21st, what does it mean?
