Experts will be on board a plane flying over Öræfajökull today to assess the situation. The ice cauldron in the caldera is constantly deepening and crevasses are forming around it. 

Results are expected later on today.  There's still a yellow aviation code across the glacier which means that the volcano is showing unusual activity.
