Since 10 a.m yesterday on November 24th,  around 70 earthquakes have been detected within Bárðarbunga. Most of the seismicity is occurring on the northern side of the volcano's caldera as on the day before. Of the 70 detected earthquakes, at least 11 are sourced from the northern part of the dyke intrusion under Dyngjujökull.


The largest detected earthquake since yesterday's report was around the magnitude of 3.8. At least eight other earthquakes exceeded three in magnitude.

Overall, the level of earthquake activity is lower than in recent days. This trend has been observed several times since the Holuhraun eruption began.


From looking at  web-camera views of Holuhraun, the eruption continues unabated.
