Intense earthquake activity continues at the Bárðarbunga volcano and there are no signs that the seismicity is decreasing. However there are no signs of magma moving to the surface.
According to a daily status report from the scientists ofthe Icelandic Met Office and the University of Iceland a 25 km long dyke has formed in the crust under the Dyngjujökull glacier at 5-10 km (3.1-6.2 mi) depth. Interpretation of the latest data suggests that the magma continues to move along the dyke, possibly branching at the northeast end of the dyke.
