A volcano in Iceland can be seen brewing to life on live cams as authorities announce a "significant likelihood of a volcanic eruption in the coming days." Iceland is one of the most volcanically ...

For decades, volcanologists believed that the primary trigger for explosive eruptions was a drop in pressure as magma rises toward the surface. When pressure falls, gases dissolved deep within the ...

Scientists are planning to drill into an Iceland volcano in the hunt for near-unlimited energy. The project, helmed by the Krafla Magma Testbed (KMT) organization, is set to start drilling into a ...

However, there have been other periods on similar seismic activity that did not lead to eruptions, namely in 1988-1992, 1995-1996 and 1997-1999. So more earthquakes does not guarantee an eruption, the ...

Scientists in Iceland have come up with an ambitious plan to drill into a volcano's magma chamber to source an abundant amount of clean, super-hot geothermal energy. The project, which would be a ...

How do volcanoes work? What happens beneath their surface? What causes the vibrations—known as tremor—that occur when magma or gases move upward through a volcano's conduits? Professor Dr. Miriam ...
