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

[Veðurstofa Íslands / Icelandic Met Office @Vedurstofan]

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. https://t.co/9vYBBjNcX9

[Veðurstofa Íslands / Icelandic Met Office @Vedurstofan]

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.

[Dr. Evgenia Ilyinskaya @EIlyinskaya]

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

[Veðurstofa Íslands / Icelandic Met Office @Vedurstofan]

An eruption has started on the Reykjanes peninsula.
The eruption is located about 3 km north of Grindavik. The eruption began at 22.17 following the earthquake swarm that started around 21:00. https://t.co/9vYBBjNcX9

Hekla teased us again this morning. A magnitude 3.2 earthquake struck nearby the infamous volcano this morning

Hekla is known for its short warning signs of an eruption, with an eruption occurring in as little as 30 minutes after the first signs

Y13 are having a great day out at the @HodderGeography A Level Hazards Conference. Great opportunity to engage in wider learning and update knowledge. @volcano_jess @kate_stockings @jmbgeog @ProfFionaTweed

[Veðurstofa Íslands / Icelandic Met Office @Vedurstofan]

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. https://t.co/9vYBBjNcX9
