I also hiked up Langihryggur and Stórihrútur mountains next to the volcano. This footage is from Meradalir valley which is the most remote from the volcano and harder to access. Volcano is active but slowed down somewhat. If before, we had eruptions within 3-10 min intervals, now it has constantly boiling crater with lava outflow through the channel exit.

Trail B and 2. Langihryggur/Stórihrútur) you can’t see inside of the output channel. Two viewing hills in front of the crater are not accessible anymore, after lava w
