Volcanic eruption has started again in Holuhraun – Pictures

This morning around 5:15 o’clock a volcanic eruption started again in Holuhraun north of Dyngjujökull. The eruption is in the safe fissure that erupted on Friday. This eruption is bigger than the one on Friday but still considered a small eruption. The fissure is longer, both to the north and the south. The lava flows to the east. The eruption is very calm and can hardly be seen on seismometers. Scientists who are in the area confirm it is calm, but continuous, and almost without sound.
