Still erupting when I checked the webcams this morning ...
The westward flow has stopped, the southward lava still heading for the sea, but very slowly, so I don't [yet] know if the lava has actually crossed the southern coastal road, but it seems to be heading for the beach / cliffs just east of Grindavik, between there and the few houses [farms] that make up Hraun.

Maybe this belongs in the Lonely Science Post thread, but fuck it.
Ignoring all other scientific projections about what might affect the habitable conditions on this planet over time, if the Earth continues to exist long enough, would the core temperature eventually cool enough for volcanic eruptions to cease? And if so, how would it affect the planet’s ability to sustain life as we know it? Would a cold core and a complete stop to volcanic activity be a dealbreaker for us organic forms of life?

Massive quake hits Taiwan

Taiwan earthquake: nine dead and 900 injured as buildings collapse
Dozens believed trapped and awaiting rescue after island hit by 7.2-magnitude quake, its strongest in 25 years
Massive quake hits Taiwan
Taiwan earthquake: nine dead and 900 injured as buildings collapse
Dozens believed trapped and awaiting rescue after island hit by 7.2-magnitude quake, its strongest in 25 years
Last time there was a earthquake of comparable magnitude in Taiwan it killed thousands - that the numbers killed are single figures shows how successful they were in tightening up building regulations.
I was in a high rise at the time which was shaking back and forth - very scary at the time but seems that flexibility is what prevents it from collapsing.
To put it into context, the one in Haiti some years ago which killed over 200,000 was 7, and this one was 7.7. Shows how important quality construction is for saving lives.

It looks likely that the eruption near to Grindavik has "finished" - the crater was dark overnight and the "smoke" plume today is almost gone.
However, the land rise under Svartsengi is continuing at a steady rate.
Therefore, the risk of another eruption or intrusive [dike or sill] continues and may give little or no warning ...
[Will add a link to the official confirmation report from the Icelandic Met Office, assuming one appears today]

report ...
tl:dr - still looks likely that there will be another eruption ...

Grindavik early warnings triggered today due to a notable uptick in earthquake activity in the most tell-tale locations there.
An eruption is therefore anticipated to take place in the coming hours. However its still not possible to be 100% certain since its also possible that this sequence could end with an intrusion rather than an eruption.

Its expanded to the south during its first hour of life. Unless Im misinterpreting the images, it ended up cutting right through the splatter cone from the previous eruption.
Interesting angle on it from this cam too, can see a fair few rivers of lava if look closely (video thumbnail for this stream is misleading, actual view is quite different):
