Two foreign film crews of 7 people stayed with the expedition the first two days. Most of the work was conventional: mass balance measurements, GPS profiling, setup of automatic weather station on Bárðarbunga, maintenance of permanently installed GPS
and seismic instruments, static GPS survey, investigation of Grímsvötn recent eruption sites, maintenance
of buildings and instruments on Grímsfjall. Additional work included setup of an automatic weather
station on Skeiðarárjökull and the survey of surface topography of Grímsvötn eruption sites and eastern
Skaftá cauldron with terrestrial LIDAR. Over 500 km of radio echo sounding (RES) profiles were surveyed
south of the Skaftár cauldrons to increase detail in bedrock maps. RES profile survey was repeated (first
in 2014) in the eastern Skaftá cauldron, and the same profiles were also surveyed with 50 MHz radar to investigate internal structure of the 100 m top layer. The 50 Mhz radar was also used to survey the bedrock
in the close vicinity of western Svíahnúkur. In relation to the Bárðarbunga unrest and eruption in 2014–2015,
a seismometer and a data transmission link was installed during the week at the centre of Bárðarbunga,
to seismic stations were installed 10 km S and SE of Bárðarbunga (to collect data during the summer). A
permanent automatic gas flux gauge was installed at the geothermal area Saltarinn on Grímsfjall. Investigation of gases from open crevasses and large holes (few 1100m wide and 100 m deep) on the south
flank of Bárðarbunga were continued. },
