A powerful volcanic eruption has rocked Iceland once again, opening a massive half-mile-long fissure near the capital Reykjavik. Stunning visuals show glowing rivers of lava and thick smoke pouring from the ground as magma bursts through the Earth’s crust. Tourists and locals were urgently evacuated, including guests at the famous Blue Lagoon spa and residents of nearby Grindavik.
This dramatic fissure eruption — the latest in a series of outbreaks since 2021 — didn’t disrupt flights but serves as a fiery reminder of Iceland’s ever-active geology. Experts warn these types of eruptions could continue for decades, even centuries.
Watch the incredible footage and learn how Iceland is preparing for nature’s next move. WooGlobe Ref : WGA937545 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
