The volcano eruption that began on Friday had stopped now. The eruption compelled Icelandic Meteorological office to move its warning level to red.
Today, Icelandic Meteorological office concluded that the eruption is no more hazardous for any flight, whether its of low range or high.
National Crisis Coordination Centre stated that crack that started at midnight at Holuhraun lava north of Vatnajokull glacier came to an end at nearly 0400 UTC (GMT). The fissure has been approximately 600 meters long and is located 5 Km north of the Dyngjujokull glacier in a north Vatnajokull glacier.
Although the seismic activity will persist in that region
Iceland’s largest volcanic system cuts a 190-km (120-mile) long and up to 25-km (15 mile) wide path athwart the North Atlantic Island. The volcanic system has been struck by thousands of earthquakes since last two weeks. Consequently, scientists were already red alert for the fear of any outbreak.
Reykjavik’s Met Office stated that the eruption wrapped few parts of the Bardabunga system. However, there were no mark of ashes like that from the Eyjafjallajokull eruption which occurred in 2010.
Though the menaces of an ash cloud are high in case any of the sub glacier also erupts. Iceland authorities for some hours changed the aviation warning level to red which is conceived as the highest on the scale.
Martin Hensch, a Met office seismologist informed that the eruption was at the top of a magma dyke 40 km from the main Bardarbunga crater.
According to Nick Petford, a vulcanology expert at the University of Northampton usually the fissure eruptions are massive and die in a span of days. Nevertheless, there could be an exceptional case.
