Reykjanes (Reykjanes peninsula (SW Iceland)): A new drone thermal footage revealed several spots to be heated in the area around Illahrauni. Gylfi Gylfason took aerial images to see surface temperatures and how they have been changing over the past hours. In order to evaluate pictures, he must take a look at images in detail.
„I am absolutely convinced that there is an increase in temperature. In four trips, I had not seen this line out to the factory and I had not seen this spot between the craters and the reservoir. It was new,“ says Gylfason.
…6 Nov:
Less quakes and no quakes above magnitude 3.6 have occurred in the past 24 hours, although less is to be understood in relative terms. In total, 1300 tremors have been detected over the past day.
More worrying, the area around Mt. Þorbjörn continues to swell. Uplift has now reached approx. 7 cm since the start of the intrusion a bit over a week ago. Scientists from Iceland’s Met Office (IMO) calculated that approximately 7 cubic meters of magma per second are currently intruding underneath the surface into an elongated, flat-shaped body known as sill, located at around 5 km depth only. The rate of magma supply is thus larger than during previous intrusion episodes in the past years. As this goes on, the chance of an eruption continues to increase.
IMO estimated that „the volume change associated with this inflation event has reached almost two times the volume change associated with the four previous inflation events in the same area between 2020-2022.“
