The first fissure was 500 metres long, pointing northeast\u2013southwest, with 10\u201312 erupting lava craters which spewed around 1,000\u00b0C hot lava 150 metres in the air. Lava is alkaline so its movement to the west and east of the fissure is slow. It has flowed more than 4000 metres northeast of the fissures into Hrunagil canyon, forming a more than 200-meter long &#8220;lava&#8221;-fall,&nbsp; slowly approaching \u00de\u00f3rsm\u00f6rk. On 25 March scientists witnessed on location, for the first time in history, the formation of a pseudocrater during a steam explosion, while studying the eruption. And a new fissure opened around 7pm, about 200 meters northwest of the original fissure and lava coming from it has now started to flow into Hvann\u00e1rgil canyon.<\/p>\n<p>Christopher Lund<br \/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/chris.is\">http:\/\/chris.is<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"..\/stories\/iceland_to_web\" width=\"700px\" height=\"600px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>Christopher Lund witnessed Iceland&#8217;s volcanic eruption last week.
