Volcanic Eruption on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula Shows Signs of Subsiding

While visible activity has diminished, seismic unrest and magma movement continue, prompting ongoing evacuations and monitoring.

The latest eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula began on April 1, 2025, with lava emerging from a 1,200-meter fissure near Grindavík.
Visible volcanic activity has subsided as of April 2, 2025, though residual glows remain in the lava field.
Seismic activity and underground magma movement persist, raising concerns about the potential for new fissures to form.
Grindavík and the Blue Lagoon remain evacuated due to risks of gas emissions and possible lava flow.
This marks the eleventh eruption in the region since 2021, signaling a prolonged period of volcanic activity after centuries of dormancy.
