« More or less prepared, this soda »
The eruption that began on the Sundhnúkagígar series appears to have been created, according to a specialist at the Icelandic Meteorological Office.
The eruption that formed near Grindavík this morning seems to have closed and clearly has diminished the eruption of the eruption, which began on the Sundhnúkagígar series late in the tenth time this morning, Tuesday.
« It seems to be more or less prepared, this eruption, » says Benedikt Gunnar Ófeigsson in a conversation with mbl.is, who is the professional director of deformation measurements at the Icelandic Meteorological Office.
« I think there is just no activity left. It’s been hard to find it. »

Tremor activity is still high, but moves north
Tremor activity is still high in the area and, as has been stated, the magma that has spit on the surface today is only a fraction of the quantity that was in the magma chamber. So there is plenty left in the tank.
The Icelandic Meteorological Office also says that it is a sign that Kvika is still moving into the cell.
Are we expecting the eruption to start again at any moment?
« Not at any moment, earthquake activity is considerably smaller and we do not see a sign that Kvika is looking for a way to the surface, » replies Benedikt Gunnar.
But the earthquake activity continues and it is not at all excluded that the magma will come to the surface or that another magma deposit will be, he said.
