Notice, btw that this is _live_ video.
You can also choose two alternative views further
away on the left side.

These vents are currently situated right between two
fairly large mountaintop glaciers in southern Iceland -
at 1000 m asl.
The scientists think that the eruption with time will
move to the eastern one of these - Myrdalsj?kul.
This will trigger a large flooding event that will treathen
one or more villages on the coast there, and at the
same time break the main road around Iceland.
Exciting times on Iceland...
