Seismic activity continues around the Bárðarbunga caldera, the largest earthquake since midnight measured 4.0 near the northern rim of the caldera. Other earthquakes measured smaller than 3.

Seven earthquakes occurred in Bárðarbunga since midnight, and twelve in the northern part of the dyke. Some earthquakes have been detected near Mount Herðubreið and Askja.

The Holuhraun eruption maintains at a similar rate as previous days. A new satellite image from NASA, taken on September 29, shows that the combined surface area of the new lava field is no less than 46 square kilometres (17.7607 square miles). In comparison Manhattan island convers an area 87.5 square kilometres (33.77 sq mi) in size.
