Iceland's Largest Volcano Gave Us a Good Scare Today - What Does It Mean?

The huge volcano Bárðarbunga scared many Icelanders this morning with unusually strong seismic swarm that for a while looked as we were heading towards the first eruption in 2025, and it still might be the case although other scenarios look more calm now. But this could however effect the nearby Grímsvötn volcano and lets hope it's the case since we have no resources to handle a caldera eruption and floods from the giant ice filled Bárðarbunga caldera now in 2025. We are to busy fighting the eruptions on the Reykjanes Peninsula.

Thank you for such excellent reporting on the seismic activity. Speaking as one who resides on the Yellowstone Hot Spot, we too can be concerned with earthquake swarms. The Earth has more power than what most folks realize. Stay safe and well, Gylfi!
