The latest deformation data graph shows continuing and stable inflation at the volcano.
From available values, the ground seems to have increased by approx. 30 mm since the last update, 33 cm since the early August 2021.
Askja’s Öskjuvatn crater lake is currently almost out of ice, but still a decent amount of snow is out there.
