Several markers of how primitive the magma was turned out to be remarkably high. Additionally this eruption has broken a very long volcanic dormancy of ~800 years in the entire area of the Rekyjanes Peninsula and the Western Volcanic Zone of Iceland, since the Reyjanes Fires and the massive Hallmundarhraun eruptions took place. This could have consequences regarding the amount of magma available in the area. The most striking aspect of the eruption is Ragnar, the name that some have been using for the currently active vent.
