The fissure at Meradalir has now formed a crater that continues to gush lava, filling up the valley. Authorities continue to monitor the so-called Meradalir pass, which, if the lava flows over it, would lead out of the valley and to the coast road and ocean.
A cloud hovered over the eruption site most of Monday, August 15.
The moon rises above the Meradalir eruption.
A number of planes carrying onlookers regularly fly over the eruption.
The perfect camping spot!
