News just in from the Iceland Review (http://icelandreview.com)
A jökulhlaup (glacial flood) began yesterday in South Iceland in the Skaftá river.
According to the Icelandic Met Office the flood is comparatively small and is believed to be coming from the western Skaftá crater, which last flooded in January 2014.
Hilmar Hróðmarsson from the Met Office told RÚV that he is not making a big deal of the flood. “This is a very small event. We’ll just monitor it, but I don’t expect there is any danger.”
