🚨🇮🇸 VOLCANO RED ALERT IN ICELAND...AGAIN Icelandic officials say a magma eruption is underway near the capital, Reykjavík, with hundreds of mini-quakes rumbling beneath the Reykjanes Peninsula. Magma hasn’t broken the surface yet, but it was enough to evacuate the famed Blue Lagoon spa — not exactly the kind of steam guests signed up for. Grindavík residents were also cleared out, with 40 homes evacuated as pressure builds underground. It’s Iceland’s 11th eruption since 2021 — Mother Nature clearly didn’t get the memo on taking a break. Sources: The Independent

🌋Iceland under a “HIGH RISK” of volcanic eruption, with over 3200 earthquakes in the last 48 hours. This is roughly 67 earthquakes every hour. At the moment there have been no reported causalities. Additionally, there has been no signs of magma yet reaching the surface, but the town of Grindavík has been evacuated (population of 3,669). On Friday Iceland’s famous ‘Blue Lagoon’ temporarily closed for the week as well. It is unknown when exactly an eruption might occur. However, Iceland has the highest number of active volcano systems in Europe, something the government has become accustomed to managing. If you live in Iceland, it is advised to evacuate if you are in a potentially affected area. (Source: Fox Weather).

🚨❗️❗️ A new eruption has started in #Iceland.... It started northeast of Sýlingarfell on the Reykjanes Peninsula just after 6 am, following an earthquake swarm in the magma intrusion north of Grindavík approximately thirty minutes earlier. The fissure spans 3 km and channels lava towards the west. Fortunately, there is currently no immediate danger posed to Grindavík town, the Blue Lagoon, the Svartsengi geothermal power plant, or other crucial infrastructure. This eruption's location bears striking similarities to the one that occurred on December 18, 2023. There is no disruption to air travel. 📹 RUV

Volcanic eruption prompts new evacuations in Iceland A new volcanic eruption has occurred in southwestern Iceland, with lava and thick smoke spewing from the ground. This is not the first eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula — volcanic activity in the area resumed in 2021 and is expected to continue for decades. According to the meteorological service, magma broke through the crust this time, forming a fissure up to one kilometer long. The eruption has been described as relatively small. Flights at Keflavík Airport have not been canceled. Due to the threat, tourists were evacuated from the Blue Lagoon resort, along with residents of a nearby town.

A volcano erupted in Iceland early Wednesday, marking the 12th time in four years for a volcanic system near Reykjavik that has been increasingly active. The eruption blew clouds of gray smoke into the air and emitted glowing hot yellow and orange lava, but did not pose a threat to people or infrastructure, Iceland's meteorological office said.

Lava fountained for nearly 13 hours on August 22-23 during episode 31 of the ongoing eruption at the summit of Kīlauea volcano on the Island of Hawaiʻi. USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists documented the eruptive episode, which included a lava fountain that extended 1,000 ft (300 meters) from the north vent, feeding a lava channel and depositing tephra on the floor of Halemaʻumaʻu crater. The south vent and additional intermediate vents also erupted during this episode. With the permission of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, USGS scientists conducted a monitoring overflight of the eruption site on August 25, during which they visited the floor of Halemaʻumaʻu crater to collect a sample of material erupted during episode 31. Geochemical analysis of the sample will help scientists to understand the processes driving this episodic eruption that has been occurring since December 23, 2024. #usgs #Kilauea #HVO #lava

The latest lava fountaining episode of an erupting Hawaii volcano reached 1,000 feet high Tuesday, prompting temporary closures at a national park and part of an important highway because of falling glassy volcanic fragments, including ash. Kilauea, on Hawaii's Big Island, has been dazzling residents and visitors for more than year with an on-and-off eruption that periodically sends fountains of lava soaring into the sky. The fountaining that began Tuesday morning marked the eruption's 43rd episode since it began in December 2024.
