Hekla volcano, calm this afternoon
The volcano has drawn media attention and is being closely monitored as it is believed it is "ready" for a new eruption (although there are no current indications that one is imminent).

GPS-measured deformation of HEKR station (Univ. Iceland), north of the volcano
L'andamento dell'inflazione rapida che è iniziato nel mese di aprile non ha continuato, ma è stato parzialmente ripristinato e per ora ha smesso di deformazioni significative. Nulla suggerisce per ora che un'eruzione è imminente, ma Hekla è conosciuto per fornire vicino nessun avviso (sismico) prima di eruzioni.

GPS-measured deformation of HEKR station (Univ. Iceland), north of the volcano
Il famoso vulcano Islanda sta mostrando ulteriori segni che indicano un'eruzione potrebbero verificarsi in un prossimo futuro. Significativo rapida inflazione, concentrato nella parte settentrionale del vulcano, è stato rilevato dall'inizio di aprile e probabilmente rappresenta accumulo di magma aumentante sotto.

On 29 March the Icelandic Meteorological Office noted that Hekla had been quiet the previous few days; no additional earthquakes had been detected since a period of increased seismicity during 10-26 March. The Icelandic Civil Defense continued to maintain a level of "uncertainty".

The Icelandic Meteorological Office has informed authorities about unusual seismicity at Hekla volcano, which could be a precursor to a new eruption, and increased the volcanic alert level to yellow. Monitoring of the volcano will be intensified, as Hekla is not only one of the most active, but also one of the potentially most hazardous volcanoes of the country. The last eruption was in March 2000. On average, the volcano has been erupting about every 10 years, and it would statistically seen be due for a new one.

The Icelandic Meteorological Office noted that since 10 March, at least seven micro-earthquakes at Hekla, ranging in size from M .4 to 1, had been detected within a small area about 4.5 km NE of the summit, at depths of 11-12 km. These earthquakes were high-frequency, suggestive of brittle fracturing rather than magma movement. At Hekla, such a clustering of earthquakes is unusual in between eruptions.

Earthquakes near Hekla since beginning of August
Piccoli terremoti continuano a verificarsi intorno e sotto il vulcano. Al momento, non sembra un aumento significativo e non abbiamo altri dati suggerendo che il vulcano dovrebbe eruttare presto (anche se potrebbe molto bene).

New seismic activity and a strong uplift may show that there will be a strong eruption in the next weeks or months.
