The new eruption has unfortunately breached the protective barrier to the north of Grindavík according to IMO
Update: Eruption has started!
Just felt an earthquake here in Reykjavík. So we have a magma run 3 km deep, if I understand correctly, and are waiting for the magma to reach the surface. The Blue Lagoon and Grindavík have been evacuated, except for 8 individuals who refused to leave their homes.

The USGS already released a shakemap for the M7.7 #earthquake in Myanmar a few minutes ago. This will be devastating. ⚒️🧪

Last night satellite #Sentinel1C launched into space! It will join its sibling to restore the Sentinel-1 constellation, gathering more frequent, global, accurate data to monitor changes on the Earth's surface. It will aid COMET research into #volcanoes🌋and #earthquakes🌎 and support event response.

⚒️🧪 Still no maps from Veðurstofan, but RÚV says that this fissure is 2.5 km long (which is much shorter than the 7 km of the August eruption), has a lower flow rate than several earlier eruptions, and has extended the furthest north of any Sundhnúksgígar eruption so far.

Here's me and @laramani14.bsky.social on German news @dwnewstoday.bsky.social talking about the neglected state of Global Volcanic Risk:
The 2022 Tongan eruption should have been a warning shot to ensure we're better prepared for the global consequences from volcanic eruptions. Check out the film with @mikevolc.bsky.social @laramani14.bsky.social @dwnewstoday.bsky.social on why this moment was so important: www.dw.com/en/hunga-ton...
Hunga-Tonga volcano eruption sparks concern – DW – 07/02/2024
When underwater volcano Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai erupted in the South Pacific in 2022 researchers were alarmed. The are now calling for closer volcano monitoring.

Very excited and honoured to be one of the Ada Lovelace Day speakers at the Royal Institute in a couple of weeks! I'll be taking about #Iceland and it's ongoing #volcano eruptions #ALD24
The volcano near Grindavík in Iceland has woken up after 800 years. Volcanologist Dr Evgenia Ilyinskaya will explain how the locals are trying to protect their town and what's happening underground, at #ALD24, 8 Oct at the Ri & online! https://findingada.com/events/
