Fagradalsfjall & the Reykjanes eruptions: Fagradalsfjall has become one of Iceland’s most significant volcanic areas in recent years. Since 2021, multiple eruptions on the Reykjanes Peninsula have created new lava fields and fissures, offering a rare opportunity to witness how Iceland is still being formed. These eruptions are part of a larger volcanic system that had been dormant for centuries, making the region a key area of scientific interest. Even outside active eruption periods, the vast lava fields, steaming ground, and fresh volcanic formations provide a unique insight into Iceland’s ongoing geological evolution.
