Background
History & Background
The Reykjanes Peninsula had been volcanically quiet for 800 years before eruptions began at Fagradalsfjall in March 2021. The eruptions produced spectacular lava fountains and lava flows that could be safely viewed by visitors who hiked to the site. Subsequent eruption series in 2022, 2023 and 2024 continued to reshape the landscape. The 2023 eruption threatened the town of Grindavík and Blue Lagoon, forcing evacuations. The ongoing volcanic activity has made Reykjanes one of the most remarkable volcanic observation zones on Earth.
