After all that edging it finally released? That took awhile and I'm sure there's some level of relief from the Icelandic people.

For anyone who doesn't know, Iceland has been experiencing thousands of earthquakes over the past monthish while waiting for a volcano to erupt. There hasn't been a day that I don't see some split road on my news feed in reference to those quakes.
