Soda could break out closer to Vogar and Reykjanesbraut

Earthquake activity continues, although the volcanic eruption north of Grindavík has been reduced and little activity is being seen. The earthquake is moving north and the weather agency assumes magma can occur there.

Tremor activity in the southern part of the magma tunnel, near Grindavík, has dwindled, but the functioning of the north end of the magma tunnel, closer to the Reykjanesbraut, continues with similar power and has moved to the north of the last few hours.

« While earthquake activity is still considerable and deformation is still measured, the possibility of Kvika to return to the surface of the Sundhnúkagígar series must be assumed or near the area of ​​earthquake activity, » says a website. The weather office.

Are clearly found in scales

The earthquake activity has reached just under nine kilometers north, but the northernmost eruption in this eruption, which formed in August 2024. The largest earthquakes have been around 3 in size and are clearly found in Vogar, which is about seven kilometers northwest of the activity.

The weather station says deformation measurements show that Kvika flows still from Svartsengi to the Kvikugang tunnel in the Sundhnúksgig series. The earthquake activity indicates that the magma moves to the northeast.

The earthquake is at a depth of 4-6 km and work is underway to detect deformation data in that area.
