=== Activity ===
In June 2010, Volcano expert Hazel Rymer said seismic activity was increasing at Askja.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/180291/Volcano-expert-warns-of-another-Icelandic-eruption|title=Volcano expert warns of another Icelandic eruption|author=Emma Pryer|work=Express.co.uk|accessdate=7 October 2014|date=2010-06-10}}</ref> The increased earthquake activity was located to the northeast of the [[central volcano]], in the direction of [[Herðubreið]]. It was ruled out that any activity from [[Eyjafjallajökull]] was responsible for the increase in activity at Askja. The news came as scientists continue to watch [[Katla volcano|Katla]]. In early April 2012 it was noted that the lake in the caldera was totally clear of ice, which usually does not happen until in June or July in a normal year. It was believed that increased geothermal activity in the volcano is heating the lake. Travel in the area was restricted until further research could be carried out.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://icelandreview.com/icelandreview/daily_news/Photos_Iceless_Iceland_Volcano_Lake_Causes_Speculation_0_388867.news.aspx|title=Photos: Iceless Iceland Volcano Lake Causes Speculation|work=Iceland Review|accessdate=7 October 2014|archive-date=2 July 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120702104651/http://www.icelandreview.com/icelandreview/daily_news/Photos_Iceless_Iceland_Volcano_Lake_Causes_Speculation_0_388867.news.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In early September 2021, GPS and Satellite data showed that an inflation at the rate of five cm per month, most likely attributed to magma intrusion, of the caldera had started in August.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.vedur.is/um-vi/frettir/land-ris-vid-oskju?|title=Land rís við Öskju &#124; Fréttir}}</ref> An Article published on September 9 from the Icelandic Meteorological Office(IMO) stated the Aviation Color Code was upgraded from "Green" to "Yellow" due to the changes.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Uncertainty level declared for the ongoing uplift at Askja volcano {{!}} News|url=https://en.vedur.is/about-imo/news/headline-for-askja-item|access-date=2021-09-09|website=Icelandic Meteorological office|language=en}}</ref> The Article also says, "Next week IMO and the Institute of Earth Sciences (UÍ) will potentiate the monitoring network around Askja to allow a better coverage and surveillance of the volcano."
