Since the end of last month in Iceland in Northern Europe, earthquakes have been observed more than 20,000 times, including those with small tremors, and meteorological authorities and others have been wary of "there is a possibility of an eruption."
There have been a series of earthquakes in Iceland since late last month, and local meteorological authorities have announced on their website that more than 20,000 tremors have been observed so far.
Although the magnitude of the earthquakes is often small, it means that there have been four earthquakes with a magnitude of 5 or more between the 24th of last month and the 1st of this month.
In addition, about 2,700 tremors were observed in 48 hours until noon on the 6th local time, and meteorological authorities and others continue to be wary that "the tremors will continue and eruptions may occur."
The Icelandic government predicts that in the event of an eruption, a type of eruption in which lava slowly flows out of a crack in the surface of the earth is expected.
He also pointed out that the volcanic ash may not be widespread, and said that the eruption in Iceland in 2010 would not have the same effect as when airports were closed in various European countries.
