New Eruption in Reykjanes: Iceland Faces Ongoing Volcanic Activity

Dive into the heart of a constantly evolving land, where nature reclaims its power and beauty. Iceland and its active volcanoes offer you a unique and fascinating adventure.

Since 2021, the volcano in the Reykjanes Peninsula, dormant for nearly 800 years, has resumed sustained activity with a series of impressive eruptions. The most recent eruption opened a three-kilometer fissure in the southwestern part of the peninsula. Although less intense than the one in August, this eruption led to evacuations in Grindavík, a small town located 50 km from Reykjavik, and forced the temporary closure of the Blue Lagoon, a famous geothermal spa, after its parking lot was covered in lava. Despite these disruptions, flights at Keflavík International Airport are operating normally, and essential infrastructure remains intact.

Located at the junction of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, Iceland is accustomed to high seismic activity. Scientists predict that this series of eruptions could continue for several decades, making the Reykjanes region a dynamic but closely monitored area.

However, the situation is under control, and the country remains accessible to travelers seeking wild landscapes and unique experiences.

Now is the perfect time to discover Iceland, with its majestic volcanoes and fascinating northern lights. Heaven Travel is here to organize a tailor-made trip, ensuring safety while immersing you in this spectacular natural world.
