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 ...

A volcano on Iceland buried beneath a thick glacier may or may not be erupting — after a week of earthquakes in the region. But scientists now disagree on what, exactly, is happening.

According to researchers who investigated the causes and effects of the 2010 eruption, it’s the volcano’s proximity to a huge glacier that helped create all the clouds.

Update: Late Wednesday evening Iceland time, the nation's meteorological office reported that scientists observed a row of deep "cauldrons" along the Vatna glacier south of the Bardarbunga caldera ...

The Bárðarbunga volcanic system lies under the 500-meter thick Vatnajokull glacier in the center of the island. Eruptions can occur from the volcano’s massive caldera, from its sides, or from ...

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 small-scale eruption is taking place northeast of Barðarbunga, underneath the Dyngjujökull glacier.Scientists estimate 492 to 1,312 feet of ice (150 to 400 meters) covers the emerging lava ...

Iceland's second-largest volcano may be about to wake up after a near-decade-long slumber following a "swarm" of seismic activity this week.. Approximately 130 earthquakes were recorded at ...
