The eruption in Holuhraun continues at the same slower pace as in the last few days.
According to the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) of the Icelandic Civil Protection seismic activity has been rather intensive over the last 24 hours. Yesterday at 14.21 (2.21pm) an earthquake of magnitude 5.3 occurred at the northern rim of Bárðarbunga caldera and this morning at 6.44 a magnitude 4.7 earthquake struck at the same place.
SAB reports that GPS monitoring continue to show irregularity in in the crustal movements over the last few days. This sign could
indicate that the magma movement under Bárðarbunga caldera is changing.
According to the Icelandic Met Office (IMO) the air pollution from the eruption site in Holuhraun will mostly be today to the north from Lake Mývatn in the west to Vopnafjörður bay in the east. This afternoon, the wind direction turns more westerly and the pollution then covers the eastern part of Iceland.
IMO has published an interactive map showing gas pollution prediction.
