As of August 18, 2025:
Iceland experienced its twelfth volcanic eruption in just over four years. On the sparsely populated Reykjanes Peninsula, southwest of Reykjavik, the earth opened up again on Wednesday, July 16. Since Tuesday, August 5, no more lava has been escaping from the eruption fissure located approximately seven kilometers northeast of Grindavik. Volcanologists believe it is highly likely that the eruption has ended for the time being.
The temporarily closed campsite in the town of Grindavik is now freely accessible again.

Today it was the volcano's turn that erupted almost two weeks ago 😀
The path is flat and leads across a valley to a plain where the volcano stands free.
The crater with a diameter of about 80m spits constantly.
The masses of lava that run out are unbelievable...
The area is partially burned. The lava has ignited the vegetation. …

You can get to the lava up to 500m. And there are enough rescue workers to take care of you 😉🇮🇸🤷🏽‍♂️
