By the way,I share latest selective informations about region;



The Icelandic Met Office which is closely monitoring the situation on (and below) the ground on the Reykjanes peninsula is now thinking that an eruption is "highly likely", possibly within hours or few days.

From the latest official update:
"Today marks 5 days since the onset of the seismic sequence between Fagradalsfjall and Keilir caused by a magmatic intrusion just north-east of the location of the 2022 dike intrusion that resulted in an eruption 5 days later.

Deformation in the area continues to slow down and seismicity is relatively quiet around the dike location.

Triggered seismicity northeast of Keilir and in the region between Keilir and Kleifarvatn continued with earthquakes at Kleifarvatn last night (8 July) the largest being magtnitude 4.6. It was widely felt in the Southwest region, in particular due to its closer proximity to the capital region than the dike location. Rockfall was reported in mountains by Kleifarvatn and Trölladyngja, including some rockfall on nearby roads.

A one-day ICEYE interferogram, spanning the 7-8 July 2023, constrains the location of the dike related deformation as of yesterday afternoon. The interferogram shows deformation related to continued inflow of magma into the dike as well as significant surface deformation related to movements on NE-SW trending faults and possible graben formation.

Geodetic modeling results based on the new ICEYE interferogram show that the magma continues to reach shallower depths, now estimated to be at half a kilometer below the surface. The modeling indicates that as of yesterday afternoon, the dike was not propagating further to the north or south, but remained at a relatively stationary location between Litli Keilir and Litli Hrútur, with a length of approximately 3 km. However, the dike continues to inflate and migrate upwards.


These measurements and modeling results indicate that magma is moving closer to the surface, with an eruption being a highly likely scenario, although the timing is still uncertain (hours to days)."

Ground deformation instruments continue to detect the caldera floor to be inflated.
According to the latest KAUST recordings, the ground has been uplifted by approx. 30 cm between September 2022 and July 2023.




The Icelandic Institute of Earth Sciences published the first data on the current effusive eruption, including a lava area, lava volume, lava discharge, geochemistry and gas release (13 July)
The outpouring lava has covered an area of 0,48 km2 with a volume of approx. 4,1 m3.
Find more results in the attached image.






According to the latest Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, the southerly advancing main lava flow front met the 2022 lava flow in Meradalagos. If the lava continues like this, this might lead to overlapping the old lava flow field and continuing beyond.


The eruption continues with little changes. Magma supply is stable and arriving at the vent, from where most of it is diverted into a main lava channel that feeds the growing lava flow field to the south, where it has joined the lava from last year's eruption.
At the vent, a cone is forming, both by accumulating spatter thrown out by small lava fountains and occasional overflows of lava that lay down sheet over sheet around the cone, making effectively a shield around its central and steeper part
