who must've drawn the short straw last night and got sent up on the hill in lousy weather just in case. I guess when the quakes hit, he started checking for smoke, found it, and caught the video shot of a lifetime.

The fissures are still growing, although more slowly. One is reportedly a little more than 2 Km from the edge of Grindavik.

All roads to the peninsula, including the road from the capital to the airport, are closed, announcements keep saying "This is not a tourist eruption." This one's bigger and more serious.
