Lets start with the inflated area but the land is still rising about 4mm pr. day or over 3cm the last week
Scientists estimate the magma chamber to be at 3-5 km depth with 1-2 million cubic mtr. of lava
Up to Mw3,5 earthquakes by the mountain  kept the residents in Grindavík awake night ago
It's however no signs that magma has started to push towards the surface
The Blue Lagoon made preparations for evacuation in case of an eruption
Around 1500 people stay there at any given time
Town meeting in Grindavík where the situation was explained and people urged to make preparations
Backup GSM transmitters have been set up since the main transmitter is on Mt. Þorbjörn
The centre point of the inflation is where I'm pointing now or just by the town
Scientists expect a fissure eruption if the inflation does not stop or up to 10 km long fissure
They are actually easier to handle than explosive eruptions under glacier
Last weeks earthquakes near the town but I'm gonna show you better how close it is to the danger area
The biggest earthquakes so far are located between the town and the mountain
Help-Centre will be opened in town on Saturday to work with residents who are not at ease due to this
Map from scientists showing 4 potential sites where the ground could rip up with fire
One of them is almost over the Blue Lagoon
Earthquake map for the last 24 hrs and 7 days. Red stars mean earthquakes over Mw3
It's currently more activity east of town but scientists believe an eruption would come up west of town
I'm showing possible location better from this areal map - Links below
Notice that this area is just layer after layer of lava
Old fissures, cracks and crater rows all around, no wonder NASA loves to practice in Iceland
I'm taking a closer look at old fissure by the hottest earthquake spot in the moment
It's just east of the Blue Lagoon
I recommend that you take a look trough Google maps or Maps.is because it's just wonderland there
Earthquake depth has been around 4-5km but in the last 24hr we have seen some movement at 2-3km depth
Look at those creators but preservationists are struggling to protect lots of formations on the peninsula
It's a link below to one of them who has great footage of Eldvörp where they suspect the eruption to come up
It's possible to see a new drilling platform there by Eldvörp but it's still steaming on the surface there
Even the last eruption here was in 1240 in 10 km long fissure and it's still a lot of heat it
We are still over Eldvörp, moving on to the town
Scientist say also the a fissure could almost reach over the complete peninsula
And it's only 12km to Keflavík Int. Airport from the old Eldvörp fissures
And then we have the capital just next door
And take a look at the volcano area south of Reykjavík that's just by the city
A congressman just pointed out the we don't have any evacuation plan available for the city.
Lets take a look at the wider picture
Here are all earthquakes in Iceland the past 6mo
This is Mt. Bárðarbunga, Iceland's hot spot who is responsible for even my own creation in Iceland
By the North-Coast we can expect up to Mw6,8 earthquake and it's been rather shaky there lately
Mt. Katla is due after 100 year of peace with us
And Mt. Hekla as well. So we have 3 dangerous volcanoes pretty much due for action
But the sub sea unrest out of Reykjanes peninsula has the most stars for the last 6mo
And the peninsula is just an extension of the sub sea volcano that's really been shaking lately
Iceland is the world's youngest country and this peninsula is the youngest part of Iceland
Scientists say it's more likely that the inflation will not end up with an eruption. but who knows. it's Iceland :)
