I'm assuming the lights on in the town in the photo posted below in the comments (for scale) are people who have no been evacuated? If that gets bigger and bigger then things could get hairy for them :S

Nobody is in Gridavik or the Power plant
The fissure is just over 3km long with the fountains roughly 100m high

At least this one's easier to pronounce than Eyjafjallajökull.

Doesn’t seem too disruptive so far. Flights running into Reykjavik still.
Not the kind of eruption that typically produces a lot of ash, though that could change, but it does seem to be producing a lot of gases - which could have an atmospheric impact (usually cooling) in the months ahead.
Just saw the bbc had a report with initial images.
Still have to see where the lava goes and if there’s any additional points of outflow.
Hope all are safe.
Iceland volcano: Pollution warning for capital after eruption
The eruption, in south-west Iceland, led to half the sky being "lit up in red", an eyewitness says.

The videos from Iceland are pretty spectacular. The people living near the eruption probably aren't so thrilled though.

My heavens, that is hot looking lava. Very hot, very fluid.
Volcanoes are the big killers in history. We have been lucky that there hasn't been a large eruption for, oh, 70,000 years or so?

That’s 4 words I never imagined I’d see in that sequence.

Nor would I ever want to see, unless the 5th word is "indictment".

It's getting quieter now and people are getting closer, cool stuff. Didn't know eruptions happened every 4-5 years though.
