Not sure if was there already but a smaller fissure seems to have opened up very close to the northern edge of the town.

Building in North Grindavik now in flames as the lava moved in. Sad to watch.

At 06:02 the Icelandic volcano has erupted again. Fissure is 4km long at the moment.

Another eruption has started in the area this morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKVwD_JZmFA  

It is apparently north of Sýlingarfell suggesting it is a bit further away from Grindavik.

I was just about to post an eruption looks likely given all the earthquake activity this morning, hadn't actually looked at the cams or youtube to see if it meant it was already erupting!

Unnerving to watch. Workers continue to build dams with rapidly flowing lava nearby.

Bit of context...
"It is the third short-lived eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula since December 2023 and the sixth since 2021. But scientists think this is just the start of a period of volcanic activity that could last for decades or even centuries."

Is Iceland entering a new volcanic era?

It was noticeable how the recent eruptions all follow almost the same NNE-SSW line.  In a way I guess that’s good news in that it’s a little more predictable, but that the best you can say.

I follow an Icelandic gentleman, on youtube, who has said as much since the first eruption back in 2020, he is very informative and great for any local history. I doubt I'm the only one here who knows of Just Icelandic YT channel, he also has a great sense of humour!

In theory the magma chamber under Svartsengi will have accumulated enough lava to possibly trigger another magma run over the next few days or couple of weeks. According to the Iceland MetO the threshold seems to be 8-12 million cubic meters and it's at 7.6m now. 

You'd assume an eruption is very likely just because there's clearly a pathway there that the lava can push through but in theory it might not make it to the surface I guess.  

Be interesting to see where this one comes up if it does erupt, hopefully for the sake of the town it's in a similar area to the last one and doesn't trend south and erupt near or in town or just out to sea.

Over time, that would suggest that these small eruptions will whittle away over time. Though even the smallest eruption right in the centre of Grindavik would still have devastating consequences.

3.2m earthquake in SW Iceland. It could be the beginnings of a pre eruption swarm.

Rather a lot of activity in Iceland just now, Icelandic MetO suggesting magma moving, so rather a high likelihood of an imminent eruption.

Swarm of earthquakes, small in intensity, large in number, on the edge of the Juan de Fuca microplate off Washington State coast. Possibility of an underwater eruption but not thought to threaten land.

Re the Iceland eruption, this chap does some rather pleasing live streams/drone flights if people haven't found him yet:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of6-gvocmP8 

Judging by the active vents it's all gradually dying off but still an impressive event, particularly for the first couple of hours.

Surprising to see this eruption still ongoing, though really just confined to a couple of cones at this stage.
