Eruption began on Reykjanes at 6 am this morning. Location very similar to December 18 eruption. The duration is expected to be short like the last two which were a couple of days long

Fyrstu myndir af eldgosinu úr þyrlu. Sprungan er norðaustan af Sýlingarfelli, um þriggja kílómetra löng úr norðri til suðurs. Hraun rennur mest til vesturs.

An eruption has started near Hagafell-Grindavík at 7:57 UTC. Then a new eruptive fissure opened at 12:10, just north of the town. Lava flows extruded from this fissure have now entered the town. en.vedur.is/about-imo/news/a…

Scientists who flew over the eruption site this morning confirm that no eruptive activity is visible and that lava flow from the craters seems to have ceased. Glowing is still visible in the lava field, possibly within closed channels.

Eruption fissure still ~4km long but effusion rate has decreased, as expected. Fissure end 3km north of Grindavik but lava not going towards it or the power plant. So far, eruption is as non-threatening as could have been hoped for. Images @Vedurstofan @almannavarnir #Reykjanes

The rate of ground deformation is much higher than has been measured previously on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Around 800 earthquakes have been detected since midnight. The likelihood of a volcanic eruption occurring in the near future is deemed considerable. en.vedur.is/about-imo/news/a…
