From what I’ve been reading on RUV.is, the expectation is that this one will probably be bigger. That doesn’t necessarily mean it will have the same impact—one of the problems with Eyjafjallajökull was that being situated under a glacier meant that it shot up huge amounts of ash that were carried on the wind into England and Europe.
Right now they don’t know if it will erupt in or just outside Grindavík, but the latter is more likely. My family sent me some wild pictures of deep fissures that have opened in a golf course just west of the town that apparently grew over 1.5 meters in a single day.
