The ongoing eruption at Reykjanes Peninsula is indicated to take quite some time.
This is a statement of scientists believing that the progress of the eruption is as expected.
An available satellite image of the Reykjanes Peninsula confirms a deformation of the surface since late July located NE of Grindavík (black frame). The ground deformation is a result of the M 5.5 earthquake on 31 July.
The latest GPS and seismic measurements don’t indicate a presence of magma moving beneath this area.
