Through satellite measurements, among other things, researchers are now trying to figure out how long the volcanic eruption will last on Friday. So far, the so-called magma chamber appears to be filling up continuously, and on Sunday there was also an earthquake more pronounced with a magnitude of 3.2, indicating continued activity.
It is the first major Earthquake in Fagradalsfjall since the eruption of the volcano.
Small earthquakes occur continuously and are expected to occur as long as the eruption continues.
It will be interesting to see if the magma flow is declining or if the flow is still stable, says Bjarki Kaldalón Friis, of the Icelandic Meteorological Agency To Morgunbladid.
As long as the magma continues to build up, the eruptions will continue.
