Lunchtime update by the MetOffice: 'Latest observations show that the eruption is no longer confined to a single fissure. The larger fissure at the Sundhnúka crater row is estimated to be about 2.4 km long. A smaller fissure has also opened west of Fagradalsfjall [estimated] about 500 meters long.'
