The crevasses and cauldrons in the ice cap of Vatnajökull glacier remain unchanged from yesterday. The Icelandic Coast Guard aircraft TF-SIF just concluded a surveillance flight over northwestern Vatnajökulll glacier with scientists from The Icelandi Met Office and The Institute of Earth Sciences at the National University, in order to observe the surface of the glacier.
Yesterday the scientists onboard TF-SIF detected a 4-6 km long row of 10-15 m deep crevasses and 1 km wide cauldrons on the ice cap at Dyngjujökull, an outlet glacier in Vatnajökull.
Dyngjujökull is a part of the Bárðabunga volcanic system. According to Civil Protection conditions for surveillance from air were not good yesterday, making it hard to estimate their precise size. However conditions this morning were very good, bright and sunny.
