Continuous volcanic activity on the Reykjanes peninsula, has turned nearby Grindavik into a ghost town. All 3,600 residents of Grindavik were evacuated in November 2023 after hundreds of earthquakes struck the town, triggering fears of a volcanic eruption. The volcano first roared to life on December 18, sending lava flowing away from Grindavik. Just weeks later, on January 14th, a second eruption sent the molten tide towards the town. However, reinforced defenses built after the first incident managed to divert some of the flow, though several buildings fell victim to the fiery river. These initial outbursts were short-lived, lasting only a few days each. However, a third eruption on February 8th, proved disruptive. The lava stream engulfed a vital pipeline, cutting off heat and hot water to thousands of residents.
Iceland, a nation forged by fire and sitting atop a North Atlantic volcanic hotspot, is no stranger to eruptions. The island nation possesses vast experience in managing these natural events.
