The Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) of The Icelandic Civil Protection is now reviewing the hazard assessment for the Holuhraun eruption site, in the central highlands. The eruption came to an end on Friday February 27th.
According to a new report by SAB, scientists will analyse data and examine the eruption site this week. We can expect an update on the hazard assessment when SAB meets again next week, on March 10th.
The restricted area around Holuhraun remains the same but could be changed following the review.

Volcanic gas pollution is still being detected over the new lava field and in the vicinity of the eruption site. Gas emission is being monitored closely and The Icelandic Met Office will issue gas dispersion forecasts if needed.
SAB reports that the seismic activity in Bárðarbunga caldera continues to diminish. Only one earthquake stronger than M2.0 has been detected since last Saturday February (28th).
Here is a great video that chronicles the Holuhraun eruption, that lasted six months.
