The crater's wall has risen since yesterday

This is what Sigríður Magnea Óskarsdóttir, a natural hazard specialist at the Icelandic Met Office, says.

Seismic activity in Iceland a concern

If you look at the webcams of mbl.is for a short while, you might think that the volcanic eruption has ended, as there is little evidence of magma still tumbling up.

“But you see quite a few snippets,” she says.

Seismic activity is similar

“At least the activity in the crater hasn’t been increasing,” Óskarsdóttir says, noting that activity isn’t necessarily decreasing either.

The seismic activity in the area is similar to the previous days.
