Svartsengi (Reykjanes peninsula, SW Iceland): Uplift of the area continues and its speed is now greater than it had been before the last eruption. The interpretation is that magma continues to accumulate in a storage area underground below.
The Icelandic Met Office (IMO) estimates that the rate of magma inflow into the magma chamber under Svartsengi is now 4-6 cubic meters per second based on geophysical modelling of the observed deformation.
