This earthquake cluster is reminiscent of the diking event on the NE flank of Bardarbunga in 2014, which preceded the emergence of lava in 2014, the distribution of earthquakes propagated away from the caldera rim as the dike pushed to the SE and then NE. There are some papers about it in Nature etc.
Good pronunciation of Askja and Kista :) BTW, you really downplayed the main threat for a subglacial eruption, which is the water, not the ash (jökulhaup - glacial outburst floods). If you want to get a sense of how insanely powerful this can be, look up the geologic history of Ásbyrgi, you'll get a good idea ;) Most aren't *that* strong, but they do sever the route between east and west on either the north or south (usually the south), taking out not just roads but bridges as well. We're so used to this threat that we pre-stock bridge segments and equipment for rebuilding bridges. Also, while you mentioned that Bárðarbunga can be powerful, I don't think most viewers got a sense of exactly how powerful it can be. The largest lava flow *on Earth* in the *entire Holocene* comes from Bárðarbunga - the Þjórsárshraun. 25 cubic kilometers. A typical eruption near Svartsengi might be a hundredth of a of a cubic kilometer. I mean, it can be a *monster* . BTW, other pronunciation tips (Rs alveolar rolls or taps, like Spanish, but if you can't do that, no big deal): Bárðarbunga: Your usual pronunciation issue comes up - stress. Remember, Icelandic is ALWAYS on the first syllables of each part of a word, it literally doubles their length, and this is *the* most important rule in Icelandic pronunciation. Otherwise, your pronuciation is good. BOWR-thar BOON-ka. Bárður's Shield-Volcano. Everything you see in caps, double the length of the lower case stuff. Vatnajökull: In addition to the stress issues (you're stressing all syllables equally), it also sounds like you're saying "vatna yo-cut". I understand that the tl is unusual (though it's not hard with practice, unlike rolled Rs, which people can struggle with for years - just block the airflow from the back of your mouth with your tongue on the roof of your mouth, let the pressure build up, then let it burst out to the sides with a click), but it's not "yo" - Ö is like the "i" in "pig", but said with rounded lips. So it's more like VAT-nuh YIH-kih. To make it sound right, it's important that there's no vowels after the Ö. The "tl" doesn't sound like "toll"; it's just a click. If you can't do the "tl", it's best to just say a "t", that way there's no vowel in there. Hóluhraun: HOLE-uh-HROYN. You're trying too hard on this one, it's actually English-like :) Your "hraun" is good, by the way, and you got the stress right :) Eyjafjallajökull: EY-ya-FYA-uh-YIH-kih (see the notes on "jökull", and in particular Ö, above). In particular, you're pronouncing "Ey" (island) like the english word "EYE", which isn't right - that sound is spelled Æ :) All that said... you're better than like 90% of English speakers; it wasn't some sort of incomprehensible bungling. Rjúpnabrekkukvísl (the one you didn't even try... I'm so sorry for our language, BTW ;) ) - the breakdown is "Rjúpna" (of ptarmigans) + "Brekku" (of a slope) + "kvísl" (fork, branch - like in a river) - the Ptarmigan-Slope Branch. So that's RYOOP-nuh BRECK-ih KVEESL (or you could drop that final L - it's devoiced, no vowel sound, so not very audible) Jökulhlaup: Once again we hit that "Ö" issue - just think "like PIG, but with rounded lips". "YIH-cull-HLOYP". Sorry that our AU is pronounced OY (like "oyster"), not "OW" like it would be in German :( BTW, it's literally "Glacier Run", because the water "runs" really quickly.
To point out how much stress matters, picture an immigrant to the US trying to say "helicopter", and saying the vowels right but the stress wrong: "I saw a heLICKKK-opTERRR" Now picture another saying the vowels wrong but the stress right: "I saw a HEE-lee-COPE-ter" The latter should be more recognizable, even though the vowels are entirely wrong. But it's much moreso of an issue in Icelandic because *every* word has a standard stress, and there's such a big stress difference, so it's a core part of how we recognize words. If you put the stress on the wrong syllable, it makes it sound like it's the start of the next word, and so both words sort of "fall apart".
I am very impressed by how much your Icelandic pronunciation has improved over the past few years. Well done from one of your teamies🤓🏴 ps been a YT student of yours since November 23. Much I have learned 🎓 📕 Thank you
If he can drill into himself how to stress words, and teach himself to recognize the boundaries between subwords even if he doesn't know them (e.g. most commonly break on -a, -s, -ar, or -u), he should be able to get away with pronouncing pretty much anything in a fully understandable manner, even if he occasionally gets a vowel wrong (like Ö). :) Some common terms he's gotten down, like "hraun"; it's clear he's practiced.
@Joperry2 I had him as a teacher for a natural disaster class in 2011, and he was amazing to have as a teacher. I have been watching him on yt ever since.
Very interesting lesson again, v. well done as always, tyvm! I was in some livestream and on RUV that 14.1.24 as well. Everything was so exciting, interesting - and devastating. Next day I read an interview with the owner of this v. modern and newly built house, that started burning first. The family had planned to move in it a few days before Christmas, but then the evacuation came... He said they will build a new house somewhere else as soon as possible and start a new life there. Even if a fissure never opens in Grindavik, it will be difficult to return to normal life at some point. All my very best wishes for the residents of Grindavik wherever they will live in the future.
I was watching that day the fissure opened so close to Grindavik. I was as excited and horrified as you were. And Happy Anniversary to you both. Thanks, as always for keeping us up to date.
Thanks to you and the people that work with you for this. I do remember watching that fissure open right outside of town in real time and then the flow that burned the three houses.
I remember that day too! You've given us so much information about Iceland that we could never get anywhere else! Thanks for all your hard work and I look forward to the days and months ahead! 👍❤️
Thank you for the update, Shawn. I was on your livestream with NatureEye, when that southern fissure opened near Grindavik. It was both terrifying and awesome, as well as worrying for the town and its inhabitants. The power of nature is humbling.
Firstly, thanks for the great update, Shawn. Will be interesting to see what transpires over the next few days and weeks in that area. Secondly, happy double anniversary! I vividly remember watching that little vent opening up live on your NatureEye flight! As you say, both horrifying and kinda exciting at the same time. So glad it didn't open up any further - things could have been so much worse for Grindavik. Fingers crossed we don't see anything opening up at that end of the fissure in the future either! Take care and see you soon! :)
I have a vivid memory of watching live a year ago and seeing the ground split open near the town. Thank goodness it wasn't as bad as it looked like it was going to be. I've learned a lot of geology since then!
Hi Shawn, greetings from East London UK, I'm watching this in replay. Thanks for another great update and Happy Anniversary to you both; I remember watching live during your drone flight when the new fissure opened.
The USGS doesn't typically register earthquakes, outside of the US, under 4.5 (even though sometimes they do). They continue to use their own methodology to determine magnitude, which differs from other agencies. They state, "Earthquakes occurring outside the U.S. that are smaller than about magnitude 4.5 can be difficult for the USGS to locate if there are not enough data."
Saw the news about Bárðarbunga earlier, was hoping to hear your analysis so thanks for doing this video, Shawn! Thanks as always to the one and only Amanda Jo for her invaluable help :) Oh yes, I remember Jan 14, 2024 like it was yesterday: seeing that small fissure open up right in front of our eyes on your livestream, with the drone, what an experience! Very mixed emotions in the moment, for sure... I won't forget that any time soon! Also, I have learned so much about Iceland geology and volcanoes since then! Thank you, Shawn, happy anniversary again and à bientôt ! :)
It was my birthday last year! So yes, I remember that. I said to my friends that something always happens on that day. I've never a boring birthday. Congrats to your anniversary! Thanks for sharing it with us, Shawn. Exciting to follow Badabunga volcano. Will the Sundhúks volcano and Badabunga go of simultaneously? We'll see!
Thank you, that was so interesting. I was watching live when you saw the steam closer to town and said it was going to open there. It was exciting to see that as it was happening, but sad too. Happy anniversary to you and your wife!🎉
It is hard to believe it has been a year since the start of the volcanic activity in and around Grindavik. It seems like it was only yesterday when I started to follow the volcanic activities in Iceland. Thank you, Shawn, for introducing me to this dynamic and beautiful country.
Great video, thanks alot. I had my breakfast this morning as I noticed the EQ-swarm just began. I had to wait for 1,5 hours, until the media reported about the swarm. It was then all over the news and many discussions were made in the radio, i.e. with Þorvaldur Þórðarson. The IMO declares to swarm as a magma intrusion so far. It might erupt in the coming days. But I´ll wait for the next eruption near Svartsengi if I can see it again from my home in Vogar. Greetings from Iceland.
The drone video was my first video with you! I became addicted and have enjoyed all of your content. The property I grew up on had a shale cliff on it. I used to collect fossils from it.
Many congrats on your anniversary. I remember it well watching with you.. I watched the Meraldallir eruption happen it’s so exciting but very tinged with sadness for Grindavik. Hope Bardabunga doesn’t blow its top and only lets less viscous lava out. Thanks Shawn great update
I remember. My 4yr old grandson was staying with us and every day he would ask about the volcano. He was riveted this day. Good memory. Happy Anniversary. ❤️✌️👍
A research team called ISVOLC is doing a bunch of research on that, I don't know how much of that research has been made public but you could try to find some of it 🤠
This event actually started the day before with a Jökkulhaup, and these are usually followed in a day or two by some seismic activity. The jökkulhaup eases the pressure/ weight of the glacier and facilitetes movement. But there is for sure an intrusion as well. Did the intrusion cause the quakes, or the jökkulhaup? nobody knows.
Thank you, Shawn. Very nuanced and informative as usual. Highly appreciated. Talking about consequences, if it erupts, I would mention the potential flooding caused by melting water downstream at the glacier lagoon.
The ground deformation seems to be a good indicator. It has been mentioned, but Bárðarbunga is much larger volcano than Svartsengi we have been watching on Reykjanes penninsula. Therefore, I would like to mention, to have an idea of the scale of the ground deformation: Bárðarbunga caldera collapsed by 65 metres during the last eruption. The uplift since then was around 20 metres.
Gylfi from ' Just icelandic' UA-cam channel got one of his five predictions for 2025 right. Have you got a list of predictions for 2025 in Iceland, and are they similar to Gylfi's list? Very interesting and I'm sure it'll all go mafic in this case probably quite soon.
Never a dull moment! I hear ‘Earthquake Swarm’ & my radar goes off & I stalk UA-cam 🤷♀️ Bust as you say it’s nowhere near any Infrastructure which I think is a positive 👍. Yes, 14 January I remember vividly as it was only 2 days later I set off on my second trip to Iceland. I was absolutely glued to the TV & then we flew right past Grindavik! I was watching too when that 2nd vent opened 😮
Does google earth pro come with all the data that you have displayed? or are those files you have added to the map. I learned arcgis and stuff and school but dont' have a license and have been thinking about learning how to use google earth more
Any chance you can include UTC when you quote times please...? It's a world standard in business... like the satellite business I used to work in. We always organised everything in UTC, so there was never any mistake when you were talking about.
I think the largest of these quakes woke me up this morning. There is no doubt this system has been recharging since it´s last little episode. My students might get a front row seat this system... I just don´t hope we end up with a grey eruption which is going to be a nightmare for just about everyone ;)

Thanks for the update Shawn and Amanda-Jo: hard to believe it’s a year since we watched the vent open up near Grindavik. Happy anniversary 👍😀
Happy Anniversary, and thanks for the update on Iceland, Shawn.
Thank you !
Thanks for to we insightful update! And Happy Anniversary! I remember so clearly seeing that small vent open up on your livestream a year ago too.
Thanks!
Thank you kindly. Much appreciated
Hi Shawn, greetings from East London UK, I'm watching this in replay. Thanks for another great update and Happy Anniversary to you both; I remember watching live during your drone flight when the new fissure opened.
I was watching when that fisher opened, can't believe its been a year. Happy anniversary Shawn!

I remember watching live when the fissure opened up near the town. I was so worried that it was going to go more into the town!
Yep, I remember watching that live with you. :)
And happy anniversary.
Thanks as always Shawn 👍🏻🇬🇧
Thanks again for your continued information now I know more through these educational video's.
It is hard to believe it has been a year since the start of the volcanic activity in and around Grindavik. It seems like it was only yesterday when I started to follow the volcanic activities in Iceland. Thank you, Shawn, for introducing me to this dynamic and beautiful country.
Thanks for what you do for all of us.
Thank you Shawn.
Congratulations on your anniversary!!!
I noticed all the earthquake activity last night was hoping you were gonna put out a video! Thanks!
Great update
Great video, thanks alot. I had my breakfast this morning as I noticed the EQ-swarm just began. I had to wait for 1,5 hours, until the media reported about the swarm.

Cool, thanks Shawn!
I remember watching the second vent at Grindivik live with you.
Many congrats on your anniversary. I remember it well watching with you.. I watched the Meraldallir eruption happen it’s so exciting but very tinged with sadness for Grindavik. Hope Bardabunga doesn’t blow its top and only lets less viscous lava out. Thanks Shawn great update
Thank You
And a very happy Anniversary to you and your good lady.
Been watching for a year always interesting and informative thanks shawn wendy albany western Australia ❤❤
I remember. My 4yr old grandson was staying with us and every day he would ask about the volcano. He was riveted this day. Good memory. Happy Anniversary. ❤️✌️👍
Happy aniversary for you and your wife🎉💫
Sad for people from Grindavik, just today another swarm looks awfull to me. Hope everyone is feeling ok🙏🏻
I remember you seeing this vent on your live drone fly..cant believe that was a year ago🫣 Happy Anniversary to you and your wife 🎉
It's impressive to hear the Icelandic names of these volcanos without Shawn spraining his tongue.
@shawnwillsey, question could the shrinking of the Glaciars lower the pressure on the magma chamber?
A research team called ISVOLC is doing a bunch of research on that, I don't know how much of that research has been made public but you could try to find some of it 🤠
Yes it can in the right circumstances. It's very similar to the principle that Shawn mentioned on his live stream of "decompression melting".
14th is also my birthday! :) congratulations on the anniversary!
Happy Anniversary again 🎉❤ I remember thst live stream 😊
Thank you, Shawn, for this update and for reminding me that Iceland has many more volcanoes than those near Grindavik.
Ah I remember Jan 14th too! I was watching it live on your channel. Happy anniversary 🎉
This event actually started the day before with a Jökkulhaup, and these are usually followed in a day or two by some seismic activity. The jökkulhaup eases the pressure/ weight of the glacier and facilitetes movement.

Nice update. I remember that live stream with the new fissure opening up in front of our eyes.
At 1:24 I could see the lava field from the 2014 to 2015 eruption.
The ground deformation seems to be a good indicator. It has been mentioned, but Bárðarbunga is much larger volcano than Svartsengi we have been watching on Reykjanes penninsula. Therefore, I would like to mention, to have an idea of the scale of the ground deformation: Bárðarbunga caldera collapsed by 65 metres during the last eruption. The uplift since then was around 20 metres.
Happy Anniversary!
I saw the when checking RUV today, and had a feeling that you'd do a video about it.
Gylfi from ' Just icelandic' UA-cam channel got one of his five predictions for 2025 right. Have you got a list of predictions for 2025 in Iceland, and are they similar to Gylfi's list?
Very interesting and I'm sure it'll all go mafic in this case probably quite soon.
Hi Shawn
I love you share info about Icelandic volcanism.
Never a dull moment! I hear ‘Earthquake Swarm’ & my radar goes off & I stalk UA-cam 🤷♀️ Bust as you say it’s nowhere near any Infrastructure which I think is a positive 👍. Yes, 14 January I remember vividly as it was only 2 days later I set off on my second trip to Iceland. I was absolutely glued to the TV & then we flew right past Grindavik! I was watching too when that 2nd vent opened 😮
Thanks for the info. Next eruption in a month 😵💫🥴
Bardarbunga badda boom?
Does google earth pro come with all the data that you have displayed? or are those files you have added to the map. I learned arcgis and stuff and school but dont' have a license and have been thinking about learning how to use google earth more
Does the weight of the ice affect the inflation rate?
I think I recall a documentary saying that an eruption under the glacier would cause horrific flooding.
There haven't been any EQs in the last 7 hours anywhere in Iceland. All quiet for now.
Any chance you can include UTC when you quote times please...?
It's a world standard in business... like the satellite business I used to work in. We always organised everything in UTC, so there was never any mistake when you were talking about.
We need to try to keep these events as rare as possible IMHO.
I always thought that Bárðarbunga would be the name of some place in the tropics and not a volcano in Iceland.
Wishing you and your wife a Very Happy Anniversary!🎉.
Were is Bruce were is Bruce?? We really like his contribution to your channel. Please let him know that we like and appreciate his efforts.
EQ's were noticeably deep a few months ago.
Oh, and happy anniversary!
Thanks! Shawn.. you n Wifey go have a Coffee on me! So... now 'a year' until the next significant event?? LOL Happy Anniversary!!
Aw gee. Thanks so much for this. Very kind.
So interesting. Thank you S.
Di…Cumbria.
Do you think the MAR is splitting like it did in the permian extinction??
Greetings from the Big Sky of Montana. Damn near ten at night here.
Aloha from Makaha
Nice one
Almost all time Eyjafalla has erupted after this Katla has almost every time erupted if I remember right. Not always but very often.
Happy Anniversary 🎉
Brilliant
19:57 onwards. 'Happy anniversary, honey. Here is an eruption to mark the occasion.' 😉👍
❤❤
I believe Geologyhub said the adjacent Askja volcano in that area may erupt soon
I think the largest of these quakes woke me up this morning. There is no doubt this system has been recharging since it´s last little episode. My students might get a front row seat this system... I just don´t hope we end up with a grey eruption which is going to be a nightmare for just about everyone ;)
Have you had a chance to look at those Excel tables I sent you a few days ago?
I live in Iceland and I would not describe Earthquakes below 5 as strong.
