It's worth visiting the Lava Centre website which offers a useful seismicity map and shows the swarm of quakes.
Others have started to observe the area as well and work out what might be the next steps.
Those people who are going to be visiting the area over the next few weeks have been given advice about staying safe in certain areas on the Reykjanese peninsula as no one is really sure when and where any eruption might start. A good bet is that it will be close to the recent activity, and there is already discussion about the likely ways that people will access any new eruption as Icelanders like to go and see any new eruption as soon as possible.
