Authorities keep the Litla-Hrút eruption site closed until further notice due to safety concerns caused by significant pollution from SO2 emissions and prevailing winds. The main hazard rises suddenly as the prevailing wind decreases.
Thus, the police is not able to ensure to keep people in the area safety. To do so, there are couple of attempts to extinguish vegetation fires in the vicinity of the eruption site by the Coast Guard helicopter and a team of around forty people.
The Civil Defense and other emergency units twill reassess the situation if the eruption will be allowed to watch again or not.
The main spatter cone contains a cauldron of boiling lava from where most of lava flows continue to leak out from it directly into the main lava outlet channel. Lava remains temporarily hidden from view in this bridge-like sequence, but after several dozens of meters, it appears to be visible again.
