From Dyngjusandur, northeast of the vent, at 14:41 on 27 Nov 2014. The top of the eruption column reached 3.1 km above Dyngjusandur, while the base of the aerosol-laden lower part of the plume reached ~1.4 km above the sand plain. Photo: Morten S. Riishuus. The lava extent is now just over 75 km², see map. For comparison, outlines based on a satellite image since 25.11. are given and the northern outline based on fieldwork 27.11.

The eruptive plume and the lava stream 20 November 2014 at 5PM. Pulsating activity; every 10-15 minutes an explosion in the crater was followed by a gush of magma down the lava stream with splashes to either side. Photo: Ármann Höskuldsson. Explosion, Celestial Bodies, Activities, Sunset

A view from the north, from Dyngjusandur, southwards to the eruptive site 21 October 2014 at around 4 PM. The plume is drifting eastwards in mild westerly wind and seems to be of two colours, white above and red below. The plume is low, reaching max 1-1.5 km height at about 8 km distance from the eruptive site, which suggests less heat flux from the craters.
