Bad news for #Grindavik. So much closer to town and no topography protecting it from the flow. If lava keeps oozing out the fissure, Grindavik will be engulfed sooner or later.

To get a better impression how close to town the fissure opened up, I estimated Quick 'n' dirty on both images. By NO means a precise location.

These #houses have been constructed quite recently and are now the first to disappear. #Grindavik #eruption #uitbarsting #ijsland

#flow is heading towards the harbour in a straight line. #eruption #iceland

With some luck, the diverted flow will stay west of this natural ridge, which would prevent quite some damage in town. But how long will the flow run parallel to the barrier, before spilling over at other locations? Only time will tell. #eruption #grindavik #iceland

The activity has declined a lot! Good news for now for #Grindavik. The #lava seems not to be mobile anymore, the #fissure that destroyed 3 houses seems inactive. There are 2 small craters still active in the northern (1st) fissure, but reduced a lot. #eruption #Iceland #uitbarsting #IJsland
