Spectacular During the early days of the eruption, the rate of lava and By early May, the lava flow was between 10 yards (9.1 m) and 23 yards (21 m) in height. Westmännerinseln) südlich von Island. Lava flows had been sprayed with water in attempts to slow them in The first attempt to slow the lava flow by spraying the leading edge with sea water began on 6 February, and although the volume of water being pumped on was rather small at 100 The pumping capacity was increased in early March, when a large chunk of the crater wall broke away from the summit of Eldfell and began to be carried along the top of the lava flow towards the harbour. Flakkarinn rafted several hundred metres towards the harbour along the top of the lava flow, but came to a halt well away from the water's edge.By the end of 1975, the population of the Westman Islands had returned to roughly 85% of its pre-eruption level.The insides of lava flows can remain at temperatures of several hundred degrees for many years due to the very low The tephra produced by the eruption was used to extend the runways at the island's small airport, and also as By the end of the eruption, Eldfell stood about 220 metres (720 ft) above sea level. Thirty-two pumps, each with a capacity of up to 1000 litres per second (265 US gallons per second), were brought in from the One notable feature of the lava cooling operation was the deposit of large amounts of Sigurgeirsson called these protective measures "undoubtedly the most extensive that have ever been used in a volcanic eruption" and said that "had it not been for the cooling, the lava tongue [into the harbor] could be expected to…extend further along its direction of movement…for a whole month longer than it actually did. Auf ihr befindet sich die gleichnamige Stadt mit 4301 Einwohnern (Stand: 1. This eruption was a special case where the method used to control the lava was suited to local conditions. The chunk, dubbed Flakkarinn (The ensuing lava-cooling operations were the most ambitious that had ever been undertaken. The eruption caused a major crisis for the island and nearly led to its permanent evacuation.

The tremors continued at a reduced rate until 11:00 that day, after which they stopped until 23:00 that evening. The first boats left for Most of the population left the island by boat. Thirdly, sea water was available in its nearby harbour and lastly, it was easy to move pipes and pump equipment as the transport system by sea and road was good. Ein Teil des Lavastromes floss in Richtung der Hafeneinfahrt und drohte diese zu blockieren, was ein großes Problem für den auf Fischfang basierenden Lebensunterhalt der Menschen geworden wäre. Es wurden Wasserkanonen aufgebaut und der Lavastrom mit Meerwasser bespritzt, um ihn zum Stoppen zu bringen. The decline was slower after that, but by the middle of April the flow rate had fallen to about 5 cubic metres per second (180 cubic feet per second).Short-lived submarine activity was discovered by a fishing vessel on 26 May, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) north-east of Heimaey and 1-kilometre (0.62 mi) off the coast of the mainland.
From 23:00 until 01:34 on 23 January, seven tremors were detected that grew shallower and more intense, while the epicenter moved closer to the town of Vestmannaeyjar.Small tremors are very common at plate boundaries, and nothing here indicated that they heralded a major eruption.The fissure rapidly extended from 300 metres to a length of 2 kilometres (1.2 mi), crossing the island from one shore to the other.
