A fissure eruption that started on Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland on March 16, 2024, continues at a fairly constant rate, with an average lava flow from the craters of about 14.5 m3 per second (512 feet3/s) from March 17 to 20. About 700 people at the Blue Lagoon spa and several in the town of Grindavík were evacuated within a 30-minute period after the start of the eruption.

Lava coverage.  Good thing they built that berm around the town.

  1. I have a photo, titled at the time as the "Eye of Sauron", from the previous eruption a couple years back, that was posted here from either a satellite or drone photo of one of the vents set as one of the photos in my desktop background slideshow. Similar to this:

    There are some really breathtaking photos of Iceland eruptions on the net. Thanks for the ones you post.
