Sounds like this is the main eruption, will probably continue till intrusion stops.

Yeh it's making pretty short work of filling the mine up. Lava god saying you ain't using this mine any more in your vain attempts to stop me.

Theory. 

So, for roughly 800 years the cooled lava from the last eruptions held together what could be described as a"zip". 

Gradually over the years the moving apart of the tectonic plates creates more and more tension until during  a series of earthquakes the rock shatters and cracks and releases many hundreds of years worth of movement in one go. 

For a few weeks magma rises, fills cracks, old lava tubes, and gradually fills up the system, occasionally we see short eruptions. 

What we see now is that magma/lava attempting to fill the void left behind by the unzipping of the fault.

With the pressure released it no longer has a cap, and now just flows out, until a series of cinder cones, and enough weight of cooling lava is deposited on top to start to increase pressure on that flow at that particular point. 

We could see this happen now across the peninsula at various weak faults fractures where land has collapsed or fractured as part of the pulling apart process, and at times quite lengthy eruptions in long lines like this. 

This goes on for weeks, months or years until all possible weak spots are "glued up" and it all goes back to sleep for another approximately 800 years. 

We see many comments which say the magma "pushes" it's way through and parts the fault, this is more like the fault moves apart and the magma comes up to fill the gap. 

Tension rises, breaks and slides apart, volcanic activity fills and glues the fault together again, cools, tension rises, breaks and slides apart.... Rinse and repeat.

Well the quarry is full of cooling lava. I can't see them managing to restart using it as the lava with take a long long long time to cool down. They managed to build the barriers up a bit where it looked live the lava would over top. With absence of a new flow things look okay for now however if the eruption continues it's only a matter of time before another flow comes that way. At the moment the eruption rate is probably two low to be a real threat however land is slowly rising so output is less than input so the eruption could build up again a little or could even shift if the present vents aren't enough to relieve the building pressure which we've seen happen before. Of course it could all stop and we got back to the old routine.

 The PIT That isn't the only quarry in the area apparently, they can draw material from other quarries.

Imagine being deep in that mine, not even knowing the lava was flowing down to you image.thumb.png.0817f49d73dfa7e6e8c5b4d664e5bf99.png

Looking at the GPS is seems they are switching to deflate mode which should mean the eruption starting to wind down in the next few days.

Eruption still ongoing but eruption rate to low to bother Grindavik right now. Interestingly the inflation has resumed which indicates the outflow no longer matches the inflow. This of course mean the outflow increases or more fissures open up if the inflation continues. So worth keeping an eye on.

Eruption still plodding along uplift continuing as flow rates fall so wouldn't be surprised at another break out somewhere. Interesting swarm round the Krýsuvík but no uplift or anything so probably the ground settling  due to pressure from the W.

A new swarm this time to the west North west Grindavik no change in uplift however the areas suggests something could be developing perhaps to release more built up magma????
