Clear signs of deformation are still observed at Svartsengi, and ground uplift is continuing. The deformation continues to measure around 2 cm per month and the trend remains stable. Ground uplift and magma accumulation beneath Svartsengi continue at a similar rate to recent weeks. According to model calculations, nearly 26 million cubic metres of magma have accumulated beneath Svartsengi since the last eruption began on 16 July last year.
