After the first day of the eruption the activity concentrated on a 300 m. long section of the fissure. With lava fountains 100-200 m high and the formation of a row of new cinder cones with 4-6 active craters, the activity has been rather constant. The lava flows have been running in 2 directions, towards the northeast and west, down into steep snowfilled canyons, with spectacular lavafalls and steam explosions from melting snow. Finally the eruption has now turned into a tourist show. - More about Eyafjallajökull volcano
