Status of Bárðarbunga volcano on 6-October-2014• The eruption in Holuhraun has picked up again from a minor slowdown on Saturday.
• Strong earthquake activity continues in Bárðarbunga volcano. Strongest earthquake on 6-October-2014 was a magnitude 5,1 earthquake. Other earthquakes have been smaller in magnitude.
• Bad weather is preventing good observation of Bárðarbunga volcano, both in Holuhraun and over Vatnajökull glacier. Visibility can be extremely limited at times.
• SO2 pollution was detected in Reykjavík during the evening of 6-October-2014. It did go over 700 μg/m³ for a short moment in Reykjavík and nearby area. More pollution from the eruption is expected tomorrow.
• The lava field in Holuhraun eruption is now larger than 50 square kilometres in size. I don’t have the exact size for today.
• Bárðarbunga volcano caldera continues to drop and has dropped more than 30 meters by now.
• The activity in Holuhraun appears to be slowly getting smaller with time. This is normal, this also increases the risk of new eruption starting soon.
• No further information for today that I am aware of at this moment.
