The eruption at the Sundhnúkur crater row has caused significant air pollution in recent days, with volcanic haze spreading widely but not fully captured by the national air quality monitoring network. The Icelandic Meteorological Office forecasts gas pollution in South and West Iceland over the coming days, with light winds contributing to persistent haze, especially in the southwest. Vulnerable groups are advised to limit time outdoors if they experience discomfort, and practical guidance for reducing indoor exposure is provided.

GPS deformation data shows that magma continues to accumulate beneath Svartsengi, although the pace of land uplift has slightly decreased in recent weeks. Despite the slower uplift, experts still consider it likely that a magma intrusion and/or eruption will occur along the Sundhnúkur crater row.

A photogrammetric survey was conducted by Icelandic Institute of Natural History and Landmælingar Íslands in a flight over the eruption site 13 December. The data reveals that the lava field that was formed during the last eruption (20 November to 9 December) had a total volume of 49,3 million cubic meters erupted and covered an area of 9,0 square kilometers. The thickest part of the lava field was around the craters and close to the barriers by the Blue Lagoon but the average thickness of the lava was 5,5 meters.
