This will probably be a big volcanic eruption: the dike intrusion near Grindavik that began yesterday caused ground shifts of 120 cm (yes, centimeters). Within three hours. In the last Fagradalsfjall eruption it was 10 cm in one week. Data: https://t.co/7cXRnZ25Lm https://t.co/4oUJrgUuq5

Live stream from the Seynisbrún Grindavík earthquake meter
This could shut down a large portion of commercial flights from North America to Europe for an extended period of time
..Guard ship moved further from Grindavík for safety reasons..
Last few hours, tremors have come out to sea just SW of Grindavík.
If eruption in sea, it will be explosive, patrol ship Þór, arrived at Grindavík, has been asked to stay away for safetyhttps://t.co/4mfEfSxMQJ pic.twitter.com/r7svfCdE2L— Icevolcanx (@Icevolcanx) November 11, 2023

Please DO NOT ATTEMPT to travel to the potential eruption site before or during a volcanic eruption which might occur in #Iceland. This notice is effective until further notice. If an eruption does occur, it could be unexpectedly explosive (possibly even up to VEI 1-2). #volcano
