Showing the new fissure eruptions in Iceland.
The larger area to the right began on 19th March 2021, The newer fissure to the left began erupting on 5th April and the lava has already reached the neighbouring valley. During the night of 7th April, a third cone was formed, located almost midway on the direct line between the two zones shown here - the new lava flow joined both existing areas.

And a fourth vent has opened (10th April),
This one is about a third of the way from the new fissure, as shown in the above image, to the existing pair of vents in Geldingadalir.

Approx four new vents opened during the morning off 13th April 2021 near to the BOBs in Geldingadalir, after the visible level in the lava lake dropped. [as it did prior to FLO opening]
