A new map measuring a thickness of the lava at Meradalir valley has been published.
The current lava flow field area is about 1.2 km2 with a maximum thickness of 20 meters and volume ranging between 0.7-10.7 m3.
The map is created via Pléiades, an emergency tasking platform for monitoring of volcanic eruptions.
In short, the Pléiades was collecting data via the CIEST2 in emergency mode during the first 10 days of the eruption which came to conclusion that the eruption continues at a similar rate as the previous eruption in April 2021.
