The effusive eruption at the site rapidly slowed down.

This indicates results of aerial measurements from 13 and 15 August.

An average discharge flow rate seems lower during 13-15 August (4,1 m3/s) compared to 4-13 August period (11 m3/s). The fact also confirms data from the Pléiades satellite map published a few days ago.

However, it is impossible to say the end of the eruption is near or it is just a temporary decrease in the eruption.
About the gas pollution, as the wind direction turned out to the southwest this morning, there is a possibility to pass through the capital area of Reykjavík.
