How bad is it?

Fairly small as far as reports suggest. Pretty standard activity for the volcano and typical of it's ongoing activity.

There was a baby eruption in Iceland, just outside the town of Grindavik. It was a very short lived lava fountain and lava flow eruption.

The size of the eruption didn't match the volume of magma accumulation in the preceding time and signs of unrest continue. Expect more to come...

Kilauea has been showing off with spectacular lava fountains, reaching over 600ft! Spectacular. There's a nice write up in this week's Volcano Watch by HVO

Yellowstone has been in the news, with some pretty big headlines about magma reservoirs. There's a nice brief write up of the study which imaged the magma system under Yellowstone, and what they actually discovered, here. https://www.usgs.gov/news/state-news-release/new-study-reveals-insights-yellowstone-volcanic-systems-hidden-magma
