The earth is at its most restless in Iceland right now. Since November 2023 the Icelandic authorities have been monitoring seismic activity on the Reykjanes Peninsula, southwest of Reykjavik.
The latest eruption was Sundhnúksgígar at noon on 29 May, with lava shooting 50 metres into the sky. The nearby Blue Lagoon spa was evacuated as a precaution. The tourist attraction will not reopen before 1 June.
