Ash cloud confirmed from Grímsfjall volcano
Posted on May 21, 2011 by Jón Frímann
A eruption ash cloud has been confirmed from Grímsfjall volcano. I do not know how high it currently is. But Icelandic news is reporting that the cloud is rising fast and high (estimated 3000 – 4000 meters and rising). Explosions have been seen from good distance.
Update 1: They estimate that there are 10 to 12 hours until the glacier flood appears from this eruption. The ash cloud can be tracked with lighting map here.
News about this.

It appears that a volcano eruption is starting in Grímsfjall volcano. I am going to post more updates about this when I know more.
No official word from Icelandic Met Office or Rúv yet. But should not be long until that a announcement is given.
This has been confirmed by a news on Morgunblaðið (mbl.is)

Something is happening at Grímsfjall volcano. The SIL seismomter on Grímsfjall volcano is shows a sharp increase in harmonic tremors in Grímsfjall volcano. It also appears that earthquake activity in increasing in Grímsfjall volcano.
I do believe (based on the data so far) that a eruption is about to start in Grímsfjall volcano. I am going to post more updates on this when I know more. But please note that I might be wrong. But this is what the data suggests so far.
