Looks like another 5 just coming in on the overview plots and the GPS is diving in response.

Indeed and also three quakes between M3 and 4 that happened at almost the same time!

The 5 has come in very shallow - 0.9km

 

Quakes seem to be on the increase again with nine over 3 today.

The magniude 5 quake was only at 0.9 depth. ie about sea level.

I think this the shallowest of all the quakes of mag 5 and above.

could be an indication that the walls are coming under strain

MIA

Sorry STEVE B you beat me to it.

And, again, relatively shallow this one John - I know that there is some speculation on one or two of the other sites that activity in the (possibly several) caldera is slowly declining, but I'm not so sure.

Updated information 4 October 2014 19:00 - from geoscientist on duty

Eight earthquakes greater than magnitude 3 have been located since 07:00 UTC this morning. The largest were in the northern caldera rim of Bárðarbunga, but two quakes were located in the southern rim. The largest quake, of magnitude 5 was observed at 12:05. At 14:34 a quake of magnitude 4.1 was observed, and another of magnitude 4.9 at 18:55.

The earthquake activity is dispersed along the caldera rim and in the northern end of the dike towards the eruption site. Additionally, a few small quakes have been located close to Herðubreið and Herðubreiðartögl.

Currenlty, the eruption is not visible on the webcams, but earlier today webcams indicated no significant changes in the eruption.

Are we in Hell Yet? By Benedikt Jóhannesson October 04, 2014 10:45 Updated: October 04, 2014 10:45

hraun_ragnar_th.jpg?itok=i_Ys2SER

A night photo by taken by a drone camera. Photo: Ragnar Th. Sigurðsson

On August 26 CBS posted a news item called: Iceland prepares for “Volcano from Hellâ€. Of course Icelanders (and others) have heard the stories about volcanoes being the gateway to hell before. Hekla, Iceland’s most famous volcano, was thought to house demons that danced around the crater and at Askja, just north of the current eruption, tourists bathe in a crater called Víti, which really means Hell.

At the time people were afraid that a sub-glacial eruption might begin at any moment. Let’s go to that item:

“This could be the volcano from hell,†said CBS News contributor and City University of New York physics professor Michio Kaku. “To quote Yogi Berra, 'It's deja vu all over again.' Remember the paralysis from four years ago? Millions of passengers being stranded with the threat of airplanes falling from the sky?â€

“This is not an ordinary volcanic eruption,†he said. “You have fine magmatic dust in the air. It could potentially cut through a glacier--freezing--causing a gasifie,d rocky, pebbly cloud to arise, and that gets in to an engine and chews up the gears, chews up the blades. So this ash coming out is not typical ash. That's why ice volcanoes are more dangerous than typical volcanoes.â€

Luckily, we are not there yet. But the pictures shown here, taken by photographer Ragnar Th. Sigurðsson can give you that eerie feeling that Hell is not so far away.
