Reykjanes eruption number three

On July 10th, 2023, after a rather short series of earthquakes in Reykjanes, a volcanic eruption began around 16:40 just north of Litli Hrutur close to Fagradalsfjall. The area is in southwest Iceland, about 15 km from Keflavik International Airport and about 25 km from the Reykjavík metropolitan area.

After first look, a 200-meter fissure opened north of Litli Hrutur about 1,5 km distance from former location of the volcano 2021 and 2022 near Merardalur.  At first glance, the eruption seems to start with more force than the last two eruption.
The eruption is considered to be relatively small and due to its location, there is low threat to populated areas or critical infrastructure.
