Still mostly off limits and very damaged but the odds of eruption seem to be decreasing, for now.

Whole thing is petering out and has already lost most of it's power.


Months of buildup, explosive start, mostly over in basically a day.

Could still re-emerge at any other point in the same crack.

Hold onto your asses.

Big earthquake 30 minutes ago, the ground is rising rapidly near Grindavík, might be another eruption in the next few hours.*









*Or three months from now because geology is silly.

Grindavík is being evacuated because everything points to another eruption being imminent.


Probably in the same place as last time but could possibly be close or even in the middle of Grindavík.

Eruption in Grímsvötn in Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Europe, also seems likely in the near future which means if both volcanoes erupt in the next few days it will be the first time in recorded history that there are two volcanoes erupting at the same time in Iceland.

It's over for now.

Stay tuned for the next volcano which will probably be next month.

Lava flowed over some geothermal pipes and poo poo and now the Sušurnes region (population circa 30.000 people) and Iceland's only international airport are without any form of heating in the dead of winter in -10°C. There's also some electicity outages so people are being limited to having one (1) electric heater per household as not to overload the system. This might be fixed tomorrow if they can redirect to a spare pipe nearby. If that pipe goes under there is no spare and it might be a few weeks until the problem is solved.

Which is not ideal.

Water heaters are only a thing in summer cabins, isolated farms, and villages in the Westfjords where there isn't enough geothermal activity to use it for more than the public pools.

It's starting up again.


Probably will be like this for the next few decades or centuries.
