Aviators Warned Of Potential Icelandic Volcano Eruption

Bardarbunga Volcano Showing Signs Of Activity

Iceland's Met Office has issued a statement raising its risk level due to a possible eruption of the Bardarbunga volcano, part of Iceland's largest volcano system.

While there has been no eruption so far, the Met Office said there has been "increased seismic activity" in the vicinity of the volcano over the past few days, according to a report from Buying Business Travel. “As evidence of magma movement shallower than 10km (6.2 miles) implies increased potential of a volcanic eruption, the Bardarbunga aviation colour code has been changed to orange,” the Met Office said in a statement.

“Presently there are no signs of eruption, but it cannot be excluded that the current activity will result in an explosive sub-glacial eruption, leading to an outburst flood and ash emission. The situation is monitored closely.”

It is the first time since a new color-coding system warning code was adopted two years ago that an orange warning has been issued.
