A fourth fissure opened at the Fagradalsfjall eruption site in Iceland on April 10, 2021. The fissure is located halfway between those that opened on April 5 and 7.
Luckily, conditions allowed residents to return close to the volcano over the weekend and produce a new batch of spectacular images and videos.
Wow! Iceland knows how to volcano. From tonight! #icelanderuption #icelandvolcano #iceland pic.twitter.com/YdgcCJXdQZ

A few more photos from last night when it got a little darker. The last shot shows the whole valley of lava and eruptions (except where it spills down into a lower valley behind the blue lights). #volcano #iceland #icelanderuption #icelanderuption #lava pic.twitter.com/iPdIXxmhdB

Some video from tonight in Iceland! Authorities extended the hours for people to hike in and stay past sunset so many people got to see the volcano at its most vivid. #Iceland #icelandVolcano #IcelandEruption #volcano #lava
