Reykjanes (Reykjanes peninsula (SW Iceland)): The effusive eruption at the site continues at stable levels.
A significant change in the activity has occurred since the last update. Some time during 28-29 March, the southernmost cinder cone from the crater wall, known as the spatter rampart, appeared to have ceased the lava spattering. Therefore, fresh and molten pyroclasts continue to eject from remaining cinder cones that thicken the lava flow field in their vicinity rather than its length (see the attached animation here).
