On 14 August, the Loftmyndir, a company specializing in aerial photography, creation of maps and land models, took a flight over the eruption site to take new aerial images.

The main spatter cone seems to have already enclosed into a sizeable full-cone shaped edifice, producing constant small lava fountains feeding the lava flow running through the main lava channel towards the north.
