I'm sad to say that this eruption starts extremely strong and the magma flow is likely over 100 cub.m.pr. sec. and the fissure length is close to 4km. I don't think it's one single soul from Grindavík sleeping tonight while the town begs its fate and we can only hope for a good outcome since lava barriers hold for only so long, and this amount of lava is simply hard to deal with. We did however get good news shortly before 03:00 GMT from the Coast Guard helicopter that confirmed that lava is currently not on the way to town that has been evacuated since November 10th. We remain hopeful!
Update December 19th 11:00PM
I drove to Reykjavik after the the eruption started to do some filming on the Reykjanes Peninsula for the next update, December 20th. although the power of the eruption has decreased a lot today, not even rescuers are allowed to be in Grindvík because it is not considered unlikely that the fissure will erupt within the town since the land by Svartsendi has only dropped by 5cm, so scientists assume that er might just be seeing the first stage of the ongoing eruption.
More about this in my next update.
