The Icelandic Volcano is Erupting Again

(Edited)

The Geldingadalir Volcano near Grindavik in Iceland is active again. It started 13:30 GMT, August 3rd 2022.
Barely 2 hours later, there is a fissure of 300 m. The expected maga volume that is pressing up, is expected to be twice the amount of last year's eruption.

It wasn't unexpected and has been predicted fairly accurately by scientists.

The channel "Just Icelandic" has made a few videos in the days leading up to it, and will be documenting again.

They are the best! Especially when they don't destroy anything (fingers crossed). It is looking ok for the nearest city. So far.

The footage shows black surface looks like ash or cooled off lava. If it erupts it will naturally lay a new floor on the current surface. Hope everyone stays is safe and don't go any close to it as gases are super heated and a puff can be very dangerous.
