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![](/twocommunity/Images/Emoticons/msp_laugh.gif)
