According to information from the Icelandic Meteorological Institute, the flow of water in the Skaftá River near Sveinstindur has been slowly declining in the last few hours.
At 2:30 pm, the flow was measured at 412 cubic meters per second. These values are high for this time of year.
On movie sent by Valdimar Jóhann Bergsson, a Meteorological Institute pilot, made during a flight over the western Skaftár cauldron, you can see large cracks, the deepest of which can reach 100-150 m.
