Incroyablement beau....
Seventh.
And again, more than two months after the end of the previous one, a new eruptive episode of the 2023-2024 eruption of Svartsengi volcanic system started last night at 23:14.
The eruption is slightly smaller compared to the last two. The effusion rate has been estimated around 1,300 cubic meters of lava per second (in august it was over 2,500 cubic meters per second) and the fissure is about 3km long.
Around 5:00am lava crossed Grindavikurvegur, the road to Grindavik, in a similar spot as in February, March and June. At the same time, fortunately, Grindavik is not in danger.
The activity, as happened already in the previous eruptions, is slowly diminishing. At this time is impossible to say how long the eruption will last.
More soon.
