The activity remains stable and simultaneously forceful. Compared to recent events, its activity hasn’t decreased as quickly as at previous eruptions.
The northernmost fissure vent continues to be the most active from where hot, fluid blebs, resulting from continuous spattering, fall to the ground, coalescing thereby forming lava flows.
The middle eruptive vent experienced a considerable decrease in the activity on 24 November, confirming no activity in the webcam yesterday.
The lava that has been feeding the lava field to the west for most of the activity by then, appears to be slowed down and cooled. However, the lava may still flow within the lava tube system towards the protective barriers near Svartsengi and the Blue Lagoon and may remain hidden from view.
The lava flow changed the direction of the flow to the east instead.
According to the latest official data, the area covered by lava flows has reached approx. 8,5 square kilometers with a total volume of about 43 million of cubic meters.
The volcanic tremor has diminished.
The ground is still being deflated reflecting continued magma intrusion and migration under the Svartsengi area.
The current lava flow is believed to rival the most intense eruptions at Fagradalsfjall.
