Over the weekend, the crater began spitting lava
up to 300 metres in the air, leading to the lava jets being visible from almost
the entire southwestern corner of Iceland. This occurrence has not been seen at
the eruption site before, since it started on March 19th, 2021.

Over the weekend, the smoke column was visible from
far away. Many people made their way up to the eruption site on Saturday
evening to see the spectacle.
