plumes are seen somewhat lower and mark the front of the lava stream. The size of the eruptive crater is 280 x 190 m. Lava splashes are thrown at least a few hundred meters into the air.
Overall assessment is that it is more explosive activity and ash production than was observed yesterday. Progression of the lava seems to be slower than yesterday.
Presently there are no indications

Excerpt from a satellite image 7 October 2014 for the IsViews project at LMU which Fjarkönnun is part of. This Quicklook radar image from TerraSAR-X, irrespective of weather and visibility, shows the outlines of the new lava in exceptionally high detail (see full image) as they were two days ago.

the following five parameters
were adjusted: (1) Storage coefficient of direct runoff kd; (2) storage coefficient of
interflow ki; (3) drainage density d; (4) the fraction of surface runoff from snowmelt; and
(5) the recession constant krec for the decreasing saturated hydraulic conductivity with
increasing depth. For the groundwater flow, adjusted parameters (6–7) are the hydraulic

earthquakes were observed in the dike intrusion and about 20 close to
Herðubreið.
The eruption can not be seen on the webcams.
