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

An eruption has begun near the evacuated town of Grindavík. Our priorities remain to protect lives and infrastructure. Civil Defence has closed off the affected area. We now wait to see what the forces of nature have in store. We are prepared and remain vigilant.

Months will pass before inhabitants can safely return to live in Grindavik, even without an eruption (that’s still considered likely) / presser https://t.co/hkgpGvFjeu #Iceland#Grindavik#earthquake
