The eruption began on 10.07.2023 Monday afternoon, local time, after thousands of earthquakes in the area, meteorological authorities said.
Aerial footage showed streams of orange molten lava and clouds of gas spewing from a snaking fissure about 900 metres long.
The volcano, located in an uninhabited valley near the Litli-Hrútur mountain about 30 kilometres south-west of Reykjavik, last erupted about 11 months ago.
Iceland's nearby international Keflavik Airport remained open on Tuesday.
Previous eruptions in 2021 and 2022 occurred without causing damage or disruptions to flights.
The Icelandic Meteorological Office said the eruption was initially more explosive than the previous two.
The Litli Hrutur volcano, which lies some 60 km (37 miles) from the country's capital, has attracted interest with some people trying to get closer to the site, a 9-kilometre (5.6 miles) uphill walk from the nearest car park.
