It looks fine to me and one of the most amazing live volcanic scenes I've ever seen.

And thank you Michael for the link.

It looks quite impressive at the moment. Thanks Michael for the link.

Thanks, Michael, that’s a very good live feed.

You can't see the activity at the moment as it's snowing hard and the camera is coated snow.  I think we've been lucky until now.

I was looking at the charts earlier and thinking that I will see “our weather” (albeit diluted a little when it arrives) on the webcams in Iceland as it is en route to here. I can post a webcam link for here tomorrow but I am hoping there will be no volcano in view. 

The side view camera would suggest it's rain and low cloud rather than snow I think - still might be an appropriate mirror of your forthcoming weather if winter was anything to go by

The only thing of note lately, other than the fact the eruption flow has held steady is the little roof that had formed over the taller vent collapsed earlier, so the lava is back to being thrown out of that vent rather than mostly in to the roof. Makes it look a little more interesting if nothing else. 

I think it's still expected the lava will escape the valley if things continue, with I guess a timescale of 7-10 days or so assuming the flow continues as it is. 

It was definitely snow covering the lens of the webcam earlier.

The rate at which the lava continues to pour out does suggest the valley will overflow sooner rather than later.  I keep thinking back to the early days when people were walking around where it's now several feet deep.

That would surely make Richard's day. The most wretched climate in the entire country and now ash and smoke from a bl**dy volcano spoils what could have been a half-decent day. 🤔😉

🤣

Fair enough, bit hard to tell sometimes with that cam view as it's high enough up to get covered in cloud too. It's definitely snowed a bit overnight judging by this morning's view (snowing lightly now).

This was a brief but fun overview of the valley from a flight a few days back, you can move the camera view to have a look around:-

I am not sure if they are new vents or bursts of lava pushing through the partially cooled and solidified surface. The pressure build up below the surface would make it look like a new vent and at least some form of “fountaining”.

One of the things that'll be interesting in the weeks/months ahead is whether this eruption continues and if it doesn't, if this is part 1 of an ongoing series of events. I think initially some people were thinking this would be a minor event but with the flow rate remaining steady this suggests the dyke is being refilled, which means a longer lasting eruption. 

I think historically eruptions in the Peninsula have been a series of eruptions that collectively last a long time so it's not out of the question this could be the start of a fairly active period that could last decades (or longer!). 

Or it could all fizzle in a few weeks and that's it
