GOD = Godabunga. Instruments are place all over Iceland. All the different charts and graphs you see are coming from different instruments. Each instrument calibrates at different frequencies. The Red =0.5 Hz, the Green 1-2 Hz and and Blue at 2-4 Hz. When there is tremor/vibration/magma movement within the earth, these instruments pick it up, just like a seismo. These instruments are very sensitive, and accordingly pick up other locations. So, when everything is quiet, you have a nice smooth lines laying on the on the bottom of the chart. Here we have tremor - vibration - movement of magma - the instruments are picking it up - which is at all frequencies as shown. The reason I say instrument malfunction is because, if there were something that big going, you would see it on the other instruments as well. Just like the seismo's.

It is called wind. There is no earthquake.

* to Anmarie96 - good answer.

Well the tremors officially broke waaay past their highest mark yet (since the eruption) shame we cant see anything due to clouds.

Please link your source for others as they might get the different instruments confused. Thanks - so, i am going to assume you are looking Here

My apologies, I was actually referring to here

hraun.vedur.is...

and this confirms an earthquake..

I posted a video here last time I posted that showed a big wave that was taken from a airplane flying over the volcano and they said that it was like someone kicked the airplane it was so hard.
This news from mbl tell that people in the nearby area have felt the earth shaking all day and it is getting harder but that is not earthquake activity, from the source from mbl tells that :

Well hard translation but :
"There is very resilient dynamic that makes the gas-explosions be much stronger than when the thin magma is involved, as was the Fimmvörðuhálsi. These explosions generate shock waves that are heard and found in many kilometers away, "

Looking at the Hekla cam , its very Hazy now and I think its either hail or smoke that has started now, also the tremor readings have shot up, has Hekla erupted???

nah that's snow on all the cameras, but your right the graph has shot up.

no expert but been watching this graph for days, this is the highest it's bean, ESK for example has 0 headroom in the last 2 hours. scary.

I am watching the Hekla stream too. It is very hazy in the video. Wonder whats going on...

We have a plume forming at katla cam, confirm i'm wrong.

This one,, if indeed Katla www.ruv.is...

Two fingers right of centre half way along dark line,, plume?

Anyone wanna look see,,

No its not, my mistake,, picture brightening
