Eruption in Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula continues without signs of stopping - Notícia OVGA 23-03-2021
Current view of the eruption in Iceland (image: screenshot of RUV's live-stream webcam)
Vigorous lava spattering is seen from the main vent, which has been building a steep-sided cone above the eruptive fissure. Over its two and half days of existence, this cone (also called a hornito currently) has been growing, sometimes partially collapsing, and thus changing its shape a lot, and it might evolve eventually into a new small mountain.
At the moment, the main vent contains a small cauldron of boiling lava from where several lava flows descend into the valley, where they form a spreading field of lava that slowly but surely is covering the valley floor.
