The uplift at Svartsengi region continues.
Magma is currently intruding underneath the surface, accumulating in the magma chamber. The ground has been bulged by 0.5-1 cm per day over the past several days, and essentially following the same pattern of previous eruptions on Reykjanes Peninsula.
Therefore, this makes another tell-tale sign of an impending eruption on the peninsula within a few weeks.
