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]
In 2010, ash clouds from eruptions at Eyafjallajokull in the south of Iceland spread over large parts of Europe, grounding some 100,000 flights and forcing hundreds of Icelanders to evacuate homes.
Iceland has declared a state of emergency and more than 3,000 residents have been urged to evacuate the small, coastal town of Grindavík as the country’s authorities anticipate the imminent ...
The eruption poured over 17 million tons of the gas into the atmosphere and led to a global temperature decrease of around 0.5 degrees Celsius (0.9 degrees Fahrenheit) that lasted about a year ...
The eruptions, of which there have been seven so far, began after an intense series of earthquakes in November 2023. Although localised, the seismic and volcanic activity have caused significant disruption across the western part of the peninsula, especially for the town of Grindavík.
