Details
Near the Icelandic city of Grindavik, the Sundhnukur volcano erupted, leading to the declaration of a state of emergency and the evacuation of the entire area. The volcanic fault from which the magma is erupting has reached a length of almost 4 km. According to scientists, the peak of the eruption is likely to be reached within a few hours.
The eruption, which began at 21:26, expanded by 1.5 km in just 40 minutes. It followed a powerful earthquake that occurred about an hour earlier. The eruption is reminiscent of two previous volcanic processes on the Reykjanes Peninsula. An hour after the eruption began, the crater was almost four kilometers long.
