Icelandic Volcano

Iceland's volcanic landscape has drawn many visitors to Grindavik, now open to the public for the first time since its last significant eruption.

A volcanic eruption has begun again on a peninsula adjacent to Iceland's capital Reykjavik, the sixth time lava has emerged in the area in the space of a year. The Lava burst to the surface at 9:26 p.m. local time on Thursday.

A volcano in southwestern Iceland erupted on Thursday, the meteorological office said, spraying red-hot lava and smoke in its sixth outbreak since December.

A volcano in southwestern Iceland sent glowing hot lava shooting more than 50 metres into the air on Wednesday, its fifth eruption since December and the most powerful one since its volcanic system became active three years ago.

A volcano in southwestern Iceland erupted on Wednesday, live video from the area showed, making it the fifth outbreak since December.

Lava spewed Saturday from a new volcanic fissure on Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula, the fourth eruption to hit the area since December, authorities said.

A volcano erupted on Thursday in south-west Iceland for the second time this year, public broadcaster RUV and other local media reported, making it the sixth outbreak on the Reykjanes peninsula since 2021.

NASA has posted a map of the region on X that shows heat emanating from the fractured land surface, detected by thermal infrared sensor aboard its Landsat 9 satellite.

Lava flowing from a volcano that erupted on Sunday near the Icelandic fishing port of Grindavik has engulfed at least three homes just hours after villagers were evacuated to safety, authorities said.

A volcano erupted in southwest Iceland on Sunday, posing an immediate threat to a nearby fishing town that had been evacuated over fears of an outbreak, authorities said.

A volcanic eruption began on Monday night in Iceland, south of the capital Reykjavik, following an earthquake swarm, Iceland's Meteorological Office reported.

The last volcanic eruption in the Reykjanes peninsula took place in 2021. It was the first one in eight centuries.

A town has been evacuated in southwestern Iceland after hundreds of earthquakes caused by shifting underground magma sparked fears of a full-blown volcanic eruption.

Icelandic authorities were on Tuesday preparing to build defence walls around a geothermal power plant in the southwestern part of the country that they hope will protect it from lava flows amid concerns of an imminent volcanic eruption.

Iceland, positioned on a tectonic plate boundary along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, is home to 33 active volcanoes.
