Below is a live cam covering a possible imminent eruption that scientists predict to make it to the crust in the next few hours.
This was announced by the Icelandic Civil Protection Agency March 3rd 16:00 GMT:
Update March 3rd 23:00 GMT: The tremor pulse was detected at 14:20 and is measured at most seismic stations in Iceland seems to decreased but many earthquakes are still being measured. No sign of eruption when Icelanders go to sleep.
A live cam has been placed in Keflavík and it’s aimed to the most likely eruption site so its a chance to see an eruption take place in live broadcast from there:
Note that the visibility is poor in the moment and it will get dark round 19:00GMT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMh3B…
Below is a youtube live cam of the expected eruption. Kinda boring as I post this (at 7:30 pm Central time, March 3).

Thanks to Stephen Bird for these links
Note: I went on line to verify this, and found this on forbes.com:
Rumbling Reykjanes Volcano In Iceland Could Erupt At Any Minute “A sudden increase in tremors on Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula, which connects the island’s capital of Reykjavik to its main international airport at Keflavik, has officials warning of a possible imminent volcanic eruption.”
New Zealand has had three major earthquakes today. The last one was an 8.0. The warning was generated for that one.
They are called transform faults. They're breaks in the crust associated with the spreading.
MOR = Mid-Oceanic Ridge (spreading center)
Oh, okay.
Very interesting.
Thanks.
M6.5 aftershock just happened - same region.

Near or in New Zealand?
Yep
It’s Keeys fault for flying his jet over there.
The Traps began about 1 million years before the Gulf meteor impact. There is speculation that the antipodal force fractured the Traps allowing a much larger volume of Lava to flow from them than was originally occurring.
In other news did you know if you trace the major lines of the Nazca Plains in Peru across the globe that they converge at Angkor Wat in Cambodia?

I posted this earlier.
But in case you missed it, and never saw the episode, I highly recommend it. Plus it’s part of a 26-episode high-resolution uploading of the entire series How The Earth Was Made by the History Channel themselves. So far they’ve uploaded 24 of the 26, with the remaining episodes, New York and Yosemite Park still to come. They upload 1 each week at around 10PM EST. These are of excellent quality, averaging out at about 900MB per 1 hour episode! So grab em while you can, if you like this stuff.

...forgot to mention, the weekly uploads are on Fridays, at ~10PM EST. Only two more to go. The rest are all up on the site and should be accessible through the link I provided above, or by going to the History Channel’s YouTube channel and searching for the series there.
