The Bardarbunga volcano system has been rocked by hundreds of tremors daily since mid-August, prompting fears the volcano could explode. Bardarbunga, at 2,000 metres, is Iceland’s second-highest peak and is located under Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajoekull.

Activity surrounding the volcano has been happening since mid-August, creating fears that Bardarbunga might cloud the skies and disrupt air travel much like another Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajokull, did in 2010. So far, the 2014 eruption of Bardarbunga has not done so.
