Volcano Iceland: Peninsula faces ‘decades’ of instability

• Iceland’s peninsula faces potential decades of volcanic instability.
• Roberts suggests a low-intensity eruption might result in lava flows.
• Eruptions resumed on the Reykjanes Peninsula in 2021.

Iceland’s southwestern peninsula faces potential decades of volcanic instability, warns the Icelandic Met Office (IMO), prompting the evacuation of Grindavik due to earthquakes and fears of an impending eruption.

According to IMO’s Matthew Roberts, Possibly signaling a new “eruptive cycle” following an 800-year dormant period, eruptions resumed on the Reykjanes Peninsula in 2021.

The instability could last for decades, with magma intrusions causing ground fractures and subsidence in Grindavik.

Roberts suggests a low-intensity eruption might result in lava flows towards Grindavik, Svartsengi power station, and the Blue Lagoon while not anticipating an explosive eruption.
