Bárðarbunga is buried beneath a glacier that averages 1300 feet thick––for now, at least. To find out what might happen if the volcano blows, we talked to Benjamin Edwards, a geologist at ...
Bárðarbunga, which is located under Iceland’s biggest glacier, Vatnajökull, could have some of these same issues, but that all depends on where the eruption occurs.
The Bárðarbunga volcano system was responsible for Iceland's largest eruption for 300 years back in 2014. After a recent increase in seismic activity, could it be about to erupt again?
The search for a 64-year-old man was suspended on Thursday after a huge mass of rock and ice from a glacier crashed down a Swiss mountainside the day before.
Bárðarbunga volcano in the north of Iceland could be waking up after an earthquake "swarm" was reported this week.
One week after an earthquake swarm first warned of approaching magma, a volcanic eruption has started near Iceland's Barðarbunga volcano.
An eruption could, however, commence outside of the Dyngjujökull outlet glacier as a lava-producing event. In that case, air traffic disturbance is highly unlikely.
The landscape of the Vatnajökull glacier, the largest glacier in Iceland, has been altered dramatically with the creation of several giant holes that have exposed ground for the first time since ...
Pools of melted water and intensifying earthquakes keep Iceland on alert as magma from the Bardarbunga volcano remains on the move.
Is a different Icelandic volcano about to act up? With tectonic rumbles underneath the ice, Iceland has raised the alert level.
