The effusive eruption that commenced on 29 May appears to have stopped.
There was a very low activity observed in the crater on 21 June, and yesterday afternoon, the Civil Defense drone detected no activity. Additionally, vibrations on nearby seismometers has decreased, returning to background levels, i.e. similar to those recorded before the eruption started.

However, it is anticipated that older lava will continue to flow slowly along Sýlingarfell on the north side and at the defense wall, where the lava has overflowed.
