Iceland on alert after hundreds of minor earthquakes
Visitors to Iceland have been warned to monitor earthquake activity as the Foreign Office issues an alert.
The National Police Commissioner in Iceland has declared a Civil Protection Uncertainty phase due to increased activity in the Brðabunga volcano in Vatnajökull glacier in the South East of Iceland.
The FO said several hundred minor earthquakes have been detected east of Brðarbunga and around Kistufell.
Visitors are advised to monitor Icelandic Met Office reports and follow the advice of the Icelandic emergency services.
Up to date information on seismic activity and the effects of volcanic eruptions in Iceland can be found on the following websites: Icelandic Meteorological Office, Icelandic Civil Protection Authority, Institute of Earth Science and UK Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre.
Eyjafjallajokull and Grimsvötn volcanoes erupted in 2010 and 2011 respectively causing mass disruption to Icelandic and European airspace.
