A massive ice cauldron measuring one km in diameter has formed at the epicentre of the Öræfajökull volcano.
Stunning satellite images taken during a flyover of the region show the new ice cauldron has developed within the volcano in the last week.
This suggests that activity at the volcano, located in Vatnajökull, Iceland's largest glacier, is increasing, according to the Icelandic Met Office (IMO).
A river in the glacier has been spewing sulfuric gases and seismic activity has been on the rise in the region in recent months, the forecast said.
