Eruption continues in Eyjafjallajökli, no major changes

The eruption continues in Eyjafjallajökull at current time, with no end in sight. However the eruption now is a lot more peaceful then in the first four days of the eruption. There is still some ash coming from the volcano, but at a lot lower levels then before. Lava flow has also been detected in the top crater of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano, but currently it is just melting the glacier and creating greater stream from Gígjujökull then normally is.

Among the biggest changes in this area following this eruption is that the lake that was in front of Gígjujökull is now gone, the flood in the start of the eruption completely removed it. Most likely for a long time to come, but it might be recreated in the future if the glacier starts to grow again at any time in the future.

Currently the ash only creates problems for air traffic in Iceland, both for domestic flights and flights to other countries from Iceland and to Iceland. There has also been great amount of volcano ash mist over part of Iceland today, and maybe tomorrow if the weather stays calm like it does today.
