People are asked not to attempt going into the area close to the potential eruption location. Scientists in the area are evacuating. No immediate plans to stop traffic to #Reykjanes – but the airport will close for up to 1 hour once an eruption is confirmed based on ICAO protocol

According to scientists at @Vedurstofan a typical "eruption tremor pulse" started at 14:20 GMT near Litli-Hrutur which is halfway between #Keilir mountain and #Fagradalsfjall – right in the path of the #magma chamber they had pointed out. The name means "Little-Ram" 😃 pic.twitter.com/P9Z1ty8YGU
