A new fissure opens up

Icelandic broadcaster RUV reports tonight that a new fissure has opened at the Eyjafjallajökull/Fimmvöruhálsi eruption site. At Fimmvöruhálsi right now it is (a) getting dark and (b) snowing so it's hard to get a good webcam picture: this capture from a clear period at around 19:40 GMT is the best I could do. If it is clearer later there should be some spectacular night-time pictures [EDIT: see picture from 20:08 GMT below).







The yellow arrow on the left marks the location of the new eruptive fissure, from which incandescence (more dancing fire fountains) can just be made out. The red arrow on the right indicates the main fissure.

A picture from slightly later, around 20:08 GMT:
