The eruption occurred with little warning and produced a fissure approximately 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) long, though it is smaller than previous eruptions.
Authorities reported that 50 houses were evacuated, along with guests at the Blue Lagoon resort, due to gas emissions and safety concerns.
Although the eruption poses no threat to air travel, authorities warned about gas emissions potentially impacting certain areas, particularly around Grindavik.
Despite ongoing eruptions, experts believe Grindavik is not in danger and the current fissure is not likely to extend further.
