Eruption north of Vatnajokull, Photo from "Mila" webcam |
If the current eruption in “Holuhraun”, moves into the glacier
"Bardarbunga" or a new eruption occurs there, it is a big chance that
this can happen: The eruption could cause an outburst flood and possibly an
explosive, ash-producing activity. In the event of a sub glacial eruption, it
is most likely that flooding would affect “Jokulsa a Fjollum”. It is also possibly
a flood coming in these rivers from the glacier Vatnajokul: Skjalfandafljot,
Kaldakvisl, Skafta and Grimsvotn.
