Over the past weeks, steam plumes have been seen rising from the Holuhraun lava field. These plumes are not signs of a new eruption. The steam plumes are the consequence of partly solidified lava interacting with water. Meltwater in the outlet rivers from the Dyngjujökull glacier has been increasing, resulting in water coming into contact with the cooling lava front. It is likely that such steam plumes will continue to be seen in the weeks to come.

Information on the aftermath of Bárðarbunga seismic and volcanic events is given here with notes and observations in March and April 2015. New material is added to the top of the article. In combination, all the monthly articles give an overview of events.
