Nov 12 Update: Unchanged situation in Grindavík, but less chance of an eruption under the sea
Scientists at the National Weather Service say that eruptions can start at any time in the next few days. Residents in the Þórkátlustað district were allowed to pick up belongings and animals today, but there will be no more trips into Grindavík today. The magma tunnel is about fifteen kilometers long. It extends from Kálfellsheiði northeast of Svartsengi to the southwest into the sea outside the Reykaness Peninsula. The magma is at a depth of 800 meters where it is shallowest, and even closer to the surface. Attempts are being made to secure housing for people and education for children after the evacuation of Grindavík. There is considerable damage to houses and infrastructure in Grindavík. The Prime Minister’s bill on the protection of important infrastructure on the Reykjanes Peninsula was circulated in Alþingi yesterday. - Source RUV, IMO
