No magma has come out of the Fagradalsfjall crater in Iceland for about two months, however, gas emitting from the crater indicates that magma is still moving underneath the volcano.
It is considered very unlikely that the volcano at Fagradalsfjall will erupt again, Professor of Volcanology Þorvaldur Þórðarson says to Ruv.is. No magma has come out of the crater for about two months, however, gas emitting from the crater indicates that magma is still moving underneath the volcano.
Another eruption from the Icelandic volcano can nevertheless not be written off quite yet. The Icelandic Meteorological Office has been tasked with declaring the end of the eruption, however, it has announced that it will not be until after at least a three-month eruption break.
