A horizontal displacement of the area between November 30 and December 4 was detected using the LiDAR method, based on the so-called line of sight (LOS) perspective (Image: ICEYE/Icelandic Met Office).
The effusive activity at the eruption site continues, even though it has been steadily decreasing in recent days, as observed on webcams and reflected in the gradual decline of volcanic tremor.
The lava flow remains active within the lava flow field, showing little to no significant advancement. However, most of the fluid lava might travel through the lava tube system and remain hidden from view, it also can emerge somewhere beyond its current boundaries.
Recent deformation data indicate that the ground uplift has resumed in Svartsengi. GPS measurements show a consistent upward trend at several stations, corroborated by the latest satellite imagery from ICEYE.
