News from Fagradalsfjall, Katla, Pagan and Bagana.

In Fagradalsfjall, the eruption continues, at the rate of the usual fluctuations of the tremor for several days. Some pictures are better than a long description.

Lava flows in Meradalur.

As the eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula continues, the Katla is joining the news in its own way.

On the evening of July 29, two earthquakes of magnitude 3.2 occurred at 7:20 p.m. and 7:22 p.m. about 30 smaller earthquakes followed.

Despite the seismic activity, no changes were detected in the flow or conductivity of water on local rivers, including Múlakvísl.

Met Office natural hazards specialist Bjarki Kaldalón Friis believes the Katla earthquakes were likely caused by the summer melting of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier that covers the volcano.

The VAAC Darwin issued a volcanic ash emission advisory and an aviation code Yellow for the Bagana / PNG on Bougainville Island on July 31, 2021 at 5:15 a.m.

The ashes are reported at an altitude of flight 150, moving west. Steam emissions, containing little ash were observed this morning by the Himawari-8 satellite; the observation was no longer possible afterwards because of the cloud cover.

The GVP reports the eruption in progress since February 28, 2000.
