Description: An amateur's observations on volcanoes and earthquakes
The eruption site is closed to the public right now due to the danger from volcanic gasses and smoke from moss fires; some visitors have been affected. Also, some visitors have been taking insane risks (e.g., attempting to climb the crater wall). High winds yesterday also caused issues.
The Institute of Earth Sciences, Iceland, have provided an update on the eruption here: Volcanic eruption at Litli-Hrút, measurement results 13 July | Institute of Earth Sciences (hi.is) . This is summarised below.
If lava continues to flow southwards, it may reach the 2022 lavas in Meradalir.
