Iceland is home to 30 volcanic systems and over 600 hot springs making it one of the most geologically active places on the planet. However, volcanologists believe the new cycle of increased activity could last many years. The next eruption occurred on Augin the Meradalir valley and lasted around three weeks.īefore the first eruption in 2021, this region had remained dormant for almost eight centuries. The area has witnessed two eruptions prior to this one in the last two years alone, first one occurred at Main the Geldingadalur Valley lasting around six months. The uninhabited area also known as Fagradalsfjall volcano has been marred by more than 1,200 earthquakes in the last few days. He also noted that this is a low intensity, effusive eruption meaning it will not lead to widespread threats owing to explosive activity but could be a threat to the infrastructure if the eruption continues for long.

Meanwhile, Professor of Volcanology at University of Iceland Thorvaldur Thordarson told news agency AFP that there are three fissures with lava which are running in all directions.
