heckling from the back!
Nope, not Fagradalsfjall - that's further east.
the fuss is about an intrusion - about 15km long - passing from just to the south west of Grindvik to the north east - and passing very close to the NW suburbs. The sill appears to have a subsea extension.
the Icelandic Met Office updated at 18:30 GMT [11th November 2023] with a map showing the sill / dyke line, as opposed to the earthquake swarms shown previously.

How does this compare in scale to previous eruptions? Assuming it will.

At present, the intrusions / earthquake swarm seem to be regarded as very similar in scale to the events preceding the March 2021 eruption.

For a typical submarine eruption near Iceland - see Surtsey ...

I would say it is very unlikely to cause a tsunami, although seawater + magma/lava = explosions & ash

I hope it goes off and stops air travel for a while. I could do with some interrupted lie-ins

If you want interrupted lie-ins it's better if it doesn't go off.

I don’t live in Iceland, though. All we’ll get is cloud. It’s not going to be KrakatoaIf you want interrupted lie-ins it's better if it doesn't go off.

I don't imagine the poor sods from Grindavik who don't know if their homes will still be there by next weekend are so blithe.
I'm hearing plenty of good things about how the people and the government have put their arms round those affected, making sure they're safe, warm and fed. Imagine the same threat to the residents of Merthyr, or Easterhouse, or Bolsover. "Come this way, we have room on this prison ship - you can wait it out in Rwanda"

I suppose that's an ingrained cultural thing given it's a tiny population in a country with a hostile environment. But I agree the govt here would leave people to their own devices - or if they're lucky, sleeping in the sports hall of a local school or whatever.
