Iceland has raised an aviation alert for a region close to the subglacial Bardarbunga volcano after a small eruption in the area.
The small fissure took place in the Holuhraun lava field, about three miles north of the vast Dyngjujoekull glacier.
The country's meteorological agency described the eruption as a "very calm lava eruption and can hardly be seen on seismometers".
Authorities raised the aviation warning code to red in the region and closed the airspace around the eruption area up to 6,000 feet (1,823 metres).
Sunday's eruption is the third in eight days No volcanic ash was detected and the Civil Protection Department said all airports remained open.
The eruption on Sunday at around 6am (EST) is the third to be registered in the area since August 23.
A similar fissure on Friday also prompted flights to be restricted in the area amid a warning to airlines by Icelandic authorities to be vigilant.
The Bardarbunga volcano lies under the Vatnajokull glacier, which dominates the eastern corner of Iceland.
