The fountaining continues at two locations within the eruptive fissure.
Hot, juvenile and molten lava clots are being thrown to perhaps a few hundred meters in height, falling to the ground, coalescing, thereby forming lava flows and/or pilling into the existing several-meter-high deposits, so-called spatter ramparts.
The unusual eruption
According to Þorvaldur Þórðarson, a volcanologist and professor of volcanology at the University of Iceland, while the number of lava fountains is decreasing, they remain quite powerful, likely reaching heights of 75-150 meters—approximately the equivalent of 1-2 Hallgrímskirkja towers. This also suggests that the magma is more gaseous compared to previous eruptions.
