LAVAcentre (Facebook)Reykjanes Peninsula update: Increased Volcanic Eruption Risk at Sundhnúksgígaröðin.
👉LAND UPLIFT AND MAGMA BUILDUP AT SVARTSENGI INDICATE POTENTIAL ERUPTION :
Deformation measurements confirm ongoing land uplift and magma accumulation beneath Svartsengi, close to the Blue Lagoon and Grindavík. The volume of accumulated magma has now reached the lower threshold historically observed before magma intrusions.
👉According to the data from the Veðurstofa Íslands (Icelandic Met Office), the previous eruptions in the Sundhnúksgígaröð fissure system have occurred between three days and four weeks after reaching this level. While this does not guarantee an imminent eruption, historical patterns suggest this timeframe as the most probable scenario.
