A drone video captured the increasing activity of the Icelandic volcano, with more lava seen overflowing from the Sundhnúkur crater, marking the fourth eruption in the area since December. The Icelandic Met Office stated that this eruption is likely the largest since 2021, with two active craters and most of the lava flow coming from the larger Sundhnúkur crater. While the lava flow has not progressed past the barriers built to protect the town of Grindavik, volcanic gas has spread throughout Iceland due to southeast winds at the eruption site, and dry weather poses a risk of vegetation fires around the lava field.
