Reykjanes (Reykjanes peninsula (SW Iceland)): (14 Mar) Magma intrusions beneath the Svartsengi region continue at a constant rate.
Model calculations estimate about 8-13 million m3 of magma to be accumulated in the magma reservoir so far and already reached the treshhold. A cumulative pressure under the reservoir roof continues to increase and might result in a sudden release of CO2-rich bubbles trapped beneath it, leading to a vigorous lava-fountaining eruption onse. Therefore, the likelihood of a new dike propagation on the surface is highly likely within the next few days.

Erta Ale (Danakil depression, Ethiopia): (14 Mar) A new lava effusion phase began at the volcano.
Following another shifting flux of magma, the lava resumed in the southern pit crater’s hornito recently, generating the lava overflow to the south-southwest of the main lava source. The lava continues to spill out towards the southwestern crater rim, currently approx. 450 meters long.
