Subject: Magma intrusion possibly extending beneath Grindavík
|
This is a very recent post from the Met Office in Iceland, although a look at the instrumentation suggests this latest flurry of activity may have stopped, ie tremor and eqs are backing down.. but still.. Updated 10. November at 11:30pm Significant changes have occurred in the seismic activity measured near Sundhnjúkagígar north of Grindavík and deformation observed in the Reykjanes Peninsula this afternoon. The seismic activity has moved south towards Grindavík. Based on how the seismic activity has evolved since 6 PM today, along with results from GPS measurements, there is a likelihood that a magma intrusion has extended beneath Grindavík. In light of this outcome, the police chief in Suđurnes, in cooperation with the Civil Protection Authorities, has decided to evacuate Grindavík. An emergency level of civil protection is now in effect. This is not an emergency evacuation. Residents of Grindavík are advised to proceed with caution. At this stage, it is not possible to determine exactly whether and where magma might reach the surface. There are indications that a considerable amount of magma is moving in an area extending from Sundhnjúkagígum in the north towards Grindavík. The amount of magma involved is significantly more than what was observed in the largest magma intrusions associated with the eruptions at Fagradalsfjall. Further data is being collected to calculate models that provide a more accurate picture of the magma intrusion. It is currently not possible to say when this work will be completed. Here is one of the closer seismic station's tremor plot..  and seismic trace..  width="40%"> |

fyi.. Those cameras are located on the top of Ţorbjörn, which is a vent complex from an older eruptive series. And, they are pointed to the north at the geothermal complex, including the Blue Lagoon, and northwest, which is the area that includes the center of uplift being recorded as part of this event, and has the international airport in the distance. But, the new activity, which has caused the evacuation of Grindavík, is actually happening on the back side, the south side of Ţorbjörn, completely out of the camera’s view.. |
