Iceland Raises Aviation Volcano Alert To Red

Iceland Raises Aviation Volcano Alert To Red
Iceland on Saturday raised its aviation alert for the restless Bardarbunga volcano to red, indicating that some type of an eruption was either imminent or in progress.
Thousands of small earthquakes have rattled the volcano deep beneath Iceland's Vatnajokull glacier in the last week, with activity picking up Saturday after a lull the day before. The red alert is the highest warning on the country's five-point scale.
Scientists had planned to fly over the glacier later Saturday to look for changes on the surface but it was not clear if that would still take place.

The magma has now breached the surface and the volcanic eruption has been confirmed by scientists in the field.
