[QUOTE="Astronuc, post: 6470921, member: 15685"] Well, the Iceland Met Office is reporting earthquakes in the Reykjanes peninsula. [URL]https://en.vedur.is/media/uncategorized/Monitor-map-45x25-cm-unrest-en-20210309.png[/URL] [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kr%C3%BDsuv%C3%ADk_(volcanic_system)']https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krýsuvík_(volcanic_system)[/URL] Fagradalsfjall is in the [B]Krýsuvík[/B] (or Krísuvík), also Krýsuvík-Trölladyngja, volcanic system The article states: "The Krýsuvík system has a tendency to [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phreatic_eruption']phreatic explosions[/URL], often within rifting episodes and/or eruption series. The underground of Reykjanes peninsula is soaked with water (high groundwater level as well as saline sea water in cave systems)." Could be exciting there. I'm guessing Fagradalsfjall will get its Wikipedia page soon, and Krýsuvík will get updated. From the article: [URL]https://en.vedur.is/about-imo/news/earthquake-swarm-in-reykjanes-peninsula[/URL] Looks like they have been expecting the eruption. They have a lot of good data.

Just go home and go to sleep. [/QUOTE]
