The eruption produced lava fountains measuring between 50–80 m (160–260 ft) in height and a volcanic plume up to 3 km (1.9 mi) high. [115] A 3 km (1.9 mi) long fissure opened in the same area as the December 2023 eruption, between the Sundhnúksgígar craters and the hill of Stóra-Skógfell, about 4 km (2.5 mi) north-east of Grindavík.
The eruption was initially a row of fissures, but has since then been confined to 1 crater. As of 25 April 2024, land uplift resumed after almost grinding to a complete halt at the start on the March 16 eruption. The eruption finished on the 9th of May. [19] In the interlude between the March 16 and May 29 eruptions, land uplift occurred.
The first eruption of the crater row took place about 2000 years ago. There was volcanic activity nearby during the period known as the Reykjanes fires with the last previous eruption being about 1240 CE. [1] In December 2023, as part of the Sundhnúkur eruptions, some craters began to erupt. [2]

2023–2024 Sundhnúkur eruptions. The Sundhnúkur volcanic eruption occurs on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland after weeks of earthquakes prompting the evacuation of 4,000 people. The Icelandic Meteorological Office says that the risk of lava flowing toward the town of Grindavík is high. 2023 Jishishan earthquake
There were three eruptions at Fagradalsfjall in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and as of November 2024 there have been seven eruptions at Sundhnúkur in 2023 and 2024. [14] [15] These have collectively been described as the New Reykjanes Fires in the light of their similarity to the 1210-1240 events: [16] Fagradalsfjall: 2021 eruption; 2022 eruption; 2023 ...
