quote:Lava eruption is second largest eruption in Iceland since Laki in 1783-1784
The Holuhraun lavafield has now reached a size of 70 square kilometers and its volume is thought to have exceeded 1 cubic kilometer, or one billion cubic meters. This lava eruption is thus the second largest in Iceland since the Laki eruption in 1783 - 1784.
"We may be in for the long haul, regarding this eruption," says geophysicist Pall Einarsson, professor at the University of Iceland's Institute of Earth Sciences. "During the last decades, we have experienced eruptions that have been forceful at the start, and rather short lived, such as the Hekla and Grimsvotn eruptions," says Einarsson. "But we can also talk about the Heimaey eruption in 1973, which lasted from January until July that year, and the Krafla eruptions, which lasted intermittently for 15 years. So a long-lasting event in Holuhraun is not a remote possibility; the eruption is now in a well established phase and it's difficult to see any signs of changes."
Bardarbunga still shaking
Seismic activity in the Bardarbunga caldera, south of Holuhraun, still continues, with over 60 earthquakes detected today and yesterday. Limited activity has been detected in the dyke intrusion which is thought to feed the Holuhraun eruption. „As long as there is an eruption there, we see lower pressure beneath Bardarbunga,“ says Einarsson. „Should the magma in the instrusion freeze, we will have to see what happens in the caldera.“
Started small - getting big
With constant activity in the main crater in the lavafield, the Holuhraun lavafield has been growing steadily towards the north and east of the source; reaching 70 square kilometres in recent days. The volume is also impressive; with over 1 cubic kilometer of lava erupted, Holuhraun is now the second largest effusive eruption in Iceland since the 18th century. Only the Laki eruption in 1783 - 1784 is bigger, with 15 cubic kilometers of erupted lava.
"The Holuhraun eruption is accordingly the second biggest effusive eruption when it comes to the SO2 pollution," says Einarsson. That pollution is persistent in Iceland, annoying inhabitants in every part of the country, depending on the weather. 40 - 60.000 tonnes of SO2 are released into the air every day in Holuhraun, and pollution levels have sometimes reached dangerous levels, especially in eastern Iceland.

bronquote:• The volcanic eruption in Holuhraun continues with similar intensity. Lava continues to flow out of the lava lake in the crater. The lava field continues to grow to the south. Yesterday a helicopter from the Icelandic Cost Guard used to examine conditions by the southern edge of the lava field, were lave is flowing on a 3-5 km wide area.
• Seismic activity in Bardarbunga continues to be strong. The biggest earthquake that was detected over the last two days was on Monday, 10. November at 22:39 of magnitude M5,2. In total 15 earthquakes between M4,0 and M5,0 were detected over the period. From noon on Monday the total number of earthquakes was around 130.
• Very few smaller earthquakes were detected in the dyke and at the eruption site in Holuhraun.
• An earthquake swarm was detected in Tungnafellsjokll glacier yesterday. The biggest earthquake was at 10:07 of magnitude M2,8.
• The subsidence of the Bardarbunga caldera continues with similar rate as last few weeks. Yesterday the GPS station was lifted out of the snow, which is now falling on the glacier. The sharp rise seen on the graph on the Icelandic Met Office web page, is the result of this operation.

In total 17 earthquakes bigger then M4,0 were detected over the period but no earthquake stronger then M5,0 has been detected for four days. From noon on Wednesday the total number of earthquakes in Bardarbunga was around 140.
• About 25 smaller earthquakes were detected in the dyke and at the eruption site in Holuhraun. All of them under magnitude M1,5.
• The subsidence of the Bardarbunga caldera continues with similar rate as last few weeks although the rate of the depression appears to be slower.
• GPS measurements outside of Bardarbunga show that the displacement is slowing down.

quote:Notes
• The volcanic eruption in Holuhraun continues to be strong. The activity is similar as it has been for the last two weeks but the lava flow is more fluctuating. The lava flow forms an extrusion to the east southeast. From midSeptember the productivity of the eruption has decreased.
• Seismic activity in Bardarbunga continues to be strong. The biggest earthquake that was detected since noon on Wednesday, 18. November at 00:26 was of magnitude M4,6. In total 16 earthquakes bigger then M4,0 were detected over the period and 39 earthquakes between M3,0-3,9. In total 170 earthquakes were detected in Bardarbunga since noon on Wednesday.
• On Thursday, 20 November at 08:46 an earthquake of magnitude M1,9 was detected in the dyke. Three other earthquakes larger then M1,5 were detected in the dyke since Wednesday. In total 65 earthquakes were detected in the dyke over the period, which is more activity then has been detected over the past few weeks. Most of the earthquakes were detected in north end of the dyke but about 15 earthquakes, including the larger ones, were more to the south and under Vatnajokull glacier.
• The subsidence of the Bardarbunga caldera and tectonics continues with similar rate as last few weeks. Tectonicsmovements show depression towards Bardarbunga.
