The new Holuhraun lava field now covers around 72 square km (27.80 sq mi). Due to good weather in the central highlands the ongoing eruption is clearly visible in web cameras today. You can see the new black lava field rising up through the snow that would in normal circumstances completely cover the area at this time of the year.
