If that happens now remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday (29. May 2024) at 12:46 UTC an eruption started in Sundhn\u00fakag\u00edgar, close to a small mountain called S\u00fdlingafell and other nearby mountains. This is also the same area that has had eruptions in recent months. This eruption was large and peaked at 2000m3\/sec. Since then it has slowed down and is maybe only around 200m3\/sec to 600m3\/sec for now. The flow from the eruption is going to change without warning and quickly. The eruption fissure today was at the longest around 4 km long. Currently, at the writing of this article, the eruption fissure is around 1 to 2,5 km long. How long the fissure is going to change without warning.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13114\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13114\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Eldgos-THorbjorn-svd-29.05.2024-at-1258utc.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13114 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Eldgos-THorbjorn-svd-29.05.2024-at-1258utc-1024x576.png\" alt=\"The eruption fissure seen from \u00deorbj\u00f6rn mountain today at 12:58:01.
