Eruption activity has slowed down

Volcanic activity at the Sundhnúkagígar crater row has slowed since yesterday morning but has remained relatively stable since then.

In a statement from the Natural Hazards Monitoring team at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, it is noted that the eruption continues from a single crater, with lava flowing east and southeast, spreading across the lava field within 1 km of the crater. Movement at the outer edges of the lava is minimal or slow.
