Virkniyfirlit:
The effusive eruption which commenced on 16 March continues, with a pretty stable rate over the past 24 hours. Lava and gas are released by a series of active vents located in the southern part of the original fissure which opened in the beginning of the eruption. On 17th March SO2 fluxes up to 50 kg/s have been measured, but more recent DOAS measurements suggest the SO2 flux has reduced significantly. Preliminary data from orthophotos indicate this is the largest eruption occurring in the area.
