Volcanic Eruption by Vatnajökull Glacier Imminent?
Hundreds of small earthquakes have been detected in the region Upptyppingar since Friday last week, located about 20 kilometers east of the volcano Askja and north of Vatnajökull glacier. Experts say a volcanic eruption may follow.
Most of the earthquakes occurred at a depth of 13 to 15 kilometers. If their source moves closer to the surface by a few kilometers, the likelihood of a volcanic eruption increases, Sigthrúdur Ármannsdóttir, a geographer at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, told Fréttabladid.
There were, however, fewer earthquakes in the area yesterday than in the days before, but that may only be a temporary condition, Ármannsdóttir said.

Powerful Geothermal Hole by Krafla Volcano
The 36th geothermal drilling hole near the volcanic crater Krafla in Iceland’s northern highlands was formally opened yesterday. It is reportedly the most powerful hole drilled in the geothermal area to date.
“It is awesome,” Árni Gunnarsson, project leader at Landsvirkjun National Energy Company told Morgunbladid in regards to the new hole, which was drilled a month ago.
The drill Jötunn was used for the project, which traveled to Iceland from the Azores in mid-April this year. Drilling has been successful this year and the drilling of the 37th hole near Krafla has already begun.

Mysterious mud waves found on Arctic seafloor
SAN FRANCISCO - Along parts of the Arctic Ocean floor, currents have driven mud into huge piles, with some "mud waves" nearly 100 feet across.
Around the world, strong currents can produce these features, piling up sediments from the ocean floor to create a wavy surface, but researchers had thought the Arctic was too calm to produce the mud waves.
The Arctic mud waves were discovered on recent expeditions to map the ocean bottom with sonar, which can view layers of sediment up to 1,000 feet below ground.
