Iceland Volcano Updates.! Largest Eruption Yet, Lava Flowing Towards Blue Lagoon

Iceland Volcano Updates.! Largest Eruption Yet, Lava Flowing Towards Blue Lagoon

IMO Update (27/8/2024): Eruption Is Significantly Reduced, Iceland Volcano Fissure Eruption
Updated August 24 at 9:35 a.m

The activity of the volcano has decreased somewhat since it was at its peak last night.

The activity is now mostly confined to the northern end of the fissure that opened first and on the fissure that opened last night north of the original fissure.

The seismic activity decreased rapidly from 4 o'clock in the morning. However, the sliding north of Stóra-Skófell continues. This indicates that the eruption has not reached equilibrium.

The fissure that opened north of the first one seems to have extended about 2 km between 4 and 8 this morning.

The flow of lava towards Grindavíkurveg has mostly stopped and as of now no infrastructure is in danger.

Nothing in the data indicates that the activity will move south towards Grindavík.

According to webcams, there seems to be no activity south of Stóra-Skógfell.

The latest data is being reviewed to better assess the possible evolution of the sequence of events.

Some of the images are produced by recent advances in Artificial Intelligence. They are just pretty pictures that AI is producing when a text describes a volcanic event or geological phenomenon for them. They are by no means represent the reality and are used here only for their graphical merits.

A great source for live views of the volcano in Reykjanes Peninsula is the amazing mbl.is YouTube channel. Please SUBSCRIBE and like and share their live YouTube camera views here to help their work be known. Iceland depends on tourism and beyond the Reykjanes Peninsula there are plenty of sites with world class tourist attractions. If you want to help Iceland, plan a holiday to this amazing country. Icelandic people are kind and welcoming people and their food and cousin is second to none. The clip of starting moments of the eruption is courtesy of mbl Iceland.

The team that designed the dikes at Grindavík and Svartsengi gained a lot of experience in designing and making them when experiments were carried out with dikes during the eruption at Fagradalsfjall in 2021. It was not surprising to the team when the dikes passed the test in the eruption on January 14.

Hörn Hrafnsdóttir, water resources engineer at Verkís and assistant professor at the Department of Environmental and Civil Engineering at the University of Helsinki, and Sólveig Kristín Sigurðardóttir, geotechnical engineer at Verkís, are on the dam team.
