A surge in seismic activity has been detected under the Bárðarbunga volcanic system in Vatnajökull National Park, leading to an elevated aviation alert. The Icelandic Meteorological Office raised the flight warning level to yellow just before 1am. This follows a major earthquake cluster in the northern section of the caldera. A 4.8 magnitude earthquake occurred at 20:14, followed by approximately 250 aftershocks, including 11 above magnitude 3. No signs of volcanic activity have been detected. The current seismic event is one of the most significant since the 2014–2015 eruption period. Authorities are closely watching the situation but have not observed magma rising to the surface.
It highlights ongoing geological activity in a region known for past eruptions, prompting continued monitoring for potential risks.
