Experts believe the volcano could be ready to erupt because, while there were thousands of tremors happening in the week before last, since midnight on Monday, only 165 have been recorded.

    They’re reporting reduced seismic activity which tends to be a “calm before the storm” type moment. Stay safe Icelandic friends 🕊️

      It’s crazy that we have the tools to prepare for an eruption. Seems like not too long ago they could have been a complete surprise

        I completely agree. I’ve noticed in my life time how far we’ve come in terms of our understanding of volcanology. There is still much to learn and hopefully we can get much better at predicting these kind of events.
