Update from the Icelandic Met Office about the eruption at Sundhnúkur fissure swarm in Reykjanes that began again last night.
The eruption began less intense than the previous one and is now declining. Lava has flowed westward to the north of the Svartstengi power plant / Blue Lagoon. Gas pollution is forecast to travel southward and westward.
