Scientists onboard TF-SIF see no change on the surface of Vatnajökull. The cauldrons, detected yesterday, appear to look the same. They have not grown in size. Scientists are still collecting data.

The Icelandic Coast Guard aircraft TF-SIF took off from Reykjavík airport for Bárðarbunga at 9 am. Yesterday the scientists onboard TF-SIF detected a 4-6 km long row of 10-15 m deep and 1 km wide cauldrons on the surface of Vatnajökull glacier.

Conditions for surveillance from air were not good when the cauldrons were detected, making it hard to estimate precisely their size. Conditions today are very good, bright and sunny, which will help the scientists to observe the surface of the glacier. News from the flight can be expected around noon.
