Grindavík & Sunken Road

This attraction focuses on the ground deformation and damaged road landscape associated with the volcanic crisis that began at Grindavík in November 2023. A magma intrusion beneath the area caused extensive fissuring and the evacuation of the town. Later eruptions and continued deformation damaged buildings, roads and utilities and changed the landscape around Grindavík. Conditions and access can change as civil-protection work continues, so visitors must follow current road closures, local restrictions and official safety guidance rather than approaching damaged or restricted areas.
