Default Eruption in Iceland - Geldingardalur - minor fissure eruption

So the last 3 weeks has been crazy, we've had over 40,000 earthquakes, bigger ones being around 5.0-5.6, many around 3-5, and thousands under 3. This is an area not far from the blue lagoon and Grindavík, about 30km from Reykjavík.

We finally got the expected fissure eruption, its thankfully located in a small valley surrounded by hills so the threat of the lava flow is zero, and its quite small in size this little eruption.

Here is a live feed from the eruption:
