Low Water Levels Indication of New Iceland Eruption?
Low water levels in rivers, springs and waterholes in the vicinity of the volcano Hekla in south Iceland is an indication of an upcoming eruption, according to a resident. Others say they are merely caused by low precipitation and lack of snow in the mountains.
?It is too significant to be caused by lack of precipitation,? former parliamentarian Dr?fa Hjartard?ttir, who lives near Hekla at Keldur in Rang?rvellir, told Fr?ttabladid.
She said the water level has dropped by 30 centimeters at the spring Keldnalaekur outside her home. ?And this has happened before, a few weeks and months in advance of an eruption the water decreased in this way.?
