Details on the state of the Öraefajökull:
According to a series of Nasa Landsat 8 images, the birth of the ice cauldron in the caldera could be dated between October 26 and early November.
The situation remains under investigation, and during a meeting between the Civil Protection and the local residents, it was clarified that the lapse of time between a possible eruption and the appearance of a jökulhlaup / ice breakup would be relatively short, of the order of 20 minutes.
