Another significant change appeared at the eruption site over the past 24 hours.
As we mentioned in the last update, two cinder cones have been showing the most lava-effusion activity over the past few days.
However, the larger of two craters has become the one and only protagonist of the eruption since last night as the smaller one stopped being active and showing no signs of the glow.
Fresh and molten pyroclasts have been continuing to eject from the main spatter cone, keeping the lava flow active north-northwest towards Sýlingarfell.
Additionally, lava flows are oozing out southward toward Hagafell. Since the activity shifted into the one main cinder cone, the lava flow heading southeast toward Fiskidalsfjall has likely decreased.
