Lava flow!

All eyes on Grimsfjall in Iceland:

Two earthquakes were recorded in Mt. Grímsfjall by the Grímsvötn lakes on the Vatnajökull icecap, the largest glacier in Europe, this morning, measuring 4.2 and 3.5 on the Richter scale. These are probably the strongest earthquakes to hit in this area since 1934. Experts at the Icelandic Meteorological Office are currently reviewing data to see whether this is the case, visir.is reports. The earthquake that hit in 1934 measured 4.5 points on the Richter scale in strength and led to a volcanic eruption. Stronger earthquakes have hit Vatnajökull since but by Bárdarbunga in the glacier’s northwestern part. Grímsvötn are located in the western part of the glacier. Grímsvötn flooded late last year which was thought to be an indicator of an upcoming eruption. However, no eruption took place at that point.

I can't find much information on the Grímsfjall volcano... is that a big one? Compared to Eyjafjallajokull?

It's known as 'Grímsvötn' in Iceland.

"A week-long eruption occurred at Grímsvötn starting on 28 December 1998, but no glacial burst occurred. In November 2004, another eruption of about one week began. Volcanic ash from the eruption fell as far away as mainland Europe and caused short-term disruption of airline traffic into Iceland, but again no glacial burst followed the eruption."

No worries MoorfNZ or anyone else.
Just fearmonging if you ask me as the only recorded eq is a 3.0 for yesterday at Grimsjfall (vedur site)
I also checked Icelandic Met and Med-Euro sites and same there, no ref to a 4.2 and 3.5 eq at Grim.

Isn't this the 4.4?

@MoorfNZ

It's mentioned that this report was not, or not yet, been reviewed by a seismologist.

I think the report just stayed mentioned (happens often) and that aftwerwards, after review, both quakes were downgraded to a 2.7 as we can see and trace back on the Icelandic Met site.

Good find although and I've to admit my heart beat a bit faster till I found no evidence of a 4+ quake there. Also the seismograph, linked by Puterman on the other thread, shows no sign if increase in low freq so nothing to worry.

This is the (optimised) GIF of the graph for the period covering 09:20 yesterday to 10:00 today. You can see the quake(s) did not get downgraded until this morning.

Seems like Yellowstone is quite active

i have been trying to find real time data for Yellowstone, i found this www.earthscope.org and unavco use search eng or if someone could post a link for the 2 of them thanks.,
As far as the up lift in Yellowstone that could explain why there is no real time data not with out a hunt for it, don't want us back yarders sounding the alarm bell.
I think that the geothermal is getting hotter just like a pressure cooker, the more heat the more pressure of steam thus up lift, throw in gasses, mantel rock that is weakening from the up lift and the10 miles deep plume could become 2 miles deep with out any sine of rising, except high ground temps, in crease in gasses, and ground deformation.look at the data and see for your self.

Sweet thanks man....although i'm quite surprised at the lack of coverage on this. Eyja's coverage was almost instant

Searching the word "Kirishima" returns pages on the battleship Kirishima which was part of the convoy that bombed pearl harbour.

Searching the Japanese "霧島の噴煙" returns much better results

I didn't see this posted anywhere, so I thought you all might want to check this out from earlier this week over at Erik Klemetti's Eruptions, it is a comprehensive list of all of the volcano web cams.
