The eruption has ceased. Civil Defense experts conducted a drone flight over the eruption site on the night of 8 May. No signs of activity could be seen in the main crater. The activity had been gradually declining over the past month, as observed in the attached timelapse containing a series of Sentinel-2 satellite images. The eruption lasted almost 54 days.
However, magma continues to accumulate beneath the Svartsengi, with model estimations suggesting that approximately 13 million cubic meters of magma have been stored into the chamber since the eruption commenced on 16 March. Consequently, there is a high likelihood that magma will soon recirculate from the magma chamber beneath Svartsengi to the Sundhnúks crater series.
