New Vent • Fagradalsfjall

Apparently the new vent opened around a half kilometer from the first, and is a half kilometer long. As the old vent went sluggish yesterday, it was because the magma was searching for a new way to get out, resulting into the creation of the new vent - which already is building a hornito, and the lava flow activity has accelerated during the afternoon

Some beautiful images there =)
A third new fissure opened around midnight last night between the two others at the Fagradalsfjall Volcano in Iceland. I believe located very close to where the search and rescue tents were previously located. The lava flowing from this new fissure headed towards the original eruption valley, and 'consumed' one of the webcams pointed towards those cones - someone made a gif catching the moment that cam went offline.

From Wikipedia:
: La Soufrière Eruption ISLAND PROFILES St. Vincent - Soufriere
La Soufrière (Vincentian Creole: Soufra) or Soufrière Saint Vincent is an active volcano on the island of Saint Vincent in the Windward Islands of the Caribbean. Many volcanoes in the Caribbean are named Soufrière (French: "sulfur outlet"). These include Soufrière Hills on Montserrat and La Grande Soufrière on Guadeloupe, the subject of Werner Herzog's 1977 film La Soufrière.

At around 3am this morning, a fourth new fissure was reported at the Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland: 'the fourth opening is midway between those that opened at noon on April 5. and at midnight the night before April 7'
Around or after three o'clock last night the Meteorological Office became aware that probably another opening would have formed at the erosion stations. Upon publication it became clear on webcams that the fourth opening is midway between those that opened at noon on April 5. and at midnight the night before April 7. The post comes with a screenshot of MBL's web camera taken for publication. Further information on our web: https://www.vedur.is/.../frettir/ny-gossprunga-a-reykjanesi

La Soufrière Volcano • St Vincent • April 2021
I found some interesting photos from the eruption (shown further below). I was surprised that it was/is much larger than I thought. Ash is thrown up to levels of 15 km (49000 feet, 9.3 miles) and titles as being a so called Peléan eruption according to Marc Szeglat at Vulkane.net. A type of volcanic eruption caused by viscious lava, and they are lot more explosive - sharing similarities with the Vulcanian eruption style.
Mount Pelée Volcano • Martinique
However, the Peléan style, often creates a phenomena of large glowing, deadly avalanches. Think of Mount Pelée, 1902. On the Island of Martinique - (not far away from St. Vincent). As a "Nuée ardente" (Glowing cloud) rolled down the slopes of the volcano, devastating the coastal city of Saint Pierre, killing 30.000 people in a few minutes. (Many more glowing avalanches would follow days and weeks later)
So, the whole ark of Islands are made of such explosive types of volcanoes. Often, they are "plugged" on top, due to the viscous lava, which increases the likelihood of violent eruptions, large pressure building up, and deadly glowing avalanches.
The people of St Pierre actually heard talking about the devastating eruption of La Soufrière volcano on St Vincent which started on 6 May 1902 at 13:00 local time - and therefore hoped that it would ease the now extremely restless Mount Pelée. Ultimately however... Pelée burst two days later into the most deadly eruption of the 19th century on 8 May 1902.
