Lava pours from Fagradalsfjall, a volcano just 30 kilometres southwest of Reykjavik. The eruption is the third at the site since 2021, before which it had remained dormant for eight centures. "It's just unbelievable" says Jessica Poteet, one of those drawn to the spectacle, despite warnings from the Icelandic Meteorological Office for tourists to stay away.
An eruption started in Iceland on Wednesday near the capital Reykjavik, spewing red hot lava and plumes of smoke out of a fissure in Meradalir, an uninhabited valley near Mount Fagradalsfjall where an eruption lasted for six month last year, after several days of intense seismic activity.

From dancing green lights to the ‘Pompeii of the north’, Iceland’s islands are home to amazing scenery and wildlife.
A volcano in southwestern Iceland began erupting Monday following heightened seismic activity in the area, the country’s meteorological authorities said, 11 months after its last eruption officially ended. The eruption is in an uninhabited valley near the Litli-Hrútur mountain, some 30 kilometers southwest of the capital, Reykjavik.
