Meradalir fissure opens up near Fagradalsfjall volcano (1) (Iceland) - BBC News - 3/4th August 2022

New (*Meradalir) fissure opens up near Fagradalsfjall volcano about 20 miles (about 32km) south of Reykjavik. This occurred around 1pm on the 3rd (local time) and has continued and is bigger then the previous one. It will change in a week and for how long it will erupt is anyone's guess. The Fagradalsfjall volcano stopped some 8 months ago and the fault line and lava is expected to flow either north or east, but we shall have to see how this develops. e shall have to see if a volcano forms and what they will call it.

*The (Meradalir) fissure (volcanic) lava flow is an unofficial name, I just using for now (as it has been used online elsewhere by others (including some geologists).

I was lucky enough to start watching this (live cams they have there, just after the fissure opened (a few hours later) after the region experienced 10,000 tremors and then the fissure opened up.
