In the town of Grindavík, Iceland, a significant geological event is unfolding. Magma has been detected advancing beneath the town, causing a series of intense earthquakes and leading to the evacuation of over 3,000 residents1. The magma intrusion, which is believed to be larger than those that led to eruptions in 2021, 2022, and 2023 at Fagradalsfjall to the east2, has formed a tunnel extending approximately 15 kilometers3. This has resulted in extensive damage to roads, buildings, and infrastructure in Grindavík3. As the situation continues to develop, experts warn that a volcanic eruption could occur within days or even hours1. Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding geological event in Iceland.
