The volcanic eruption that started on the 16th of July ended on the 5th of August. 

The eruption lasted for 20-days . It was the third-longest eruption of the nine that have occurred in the Sundhnúkagígar crater series since December 2023. 

However, land rise has already begun again at Svartsengi, meaning the magma chamber is refilling. It is too early to state the rate of magma accretion, but initial model calculations suggest that it is similar to that before.

Access to the Blue Lagoon and the town of Grindavík remains open, and a viewing platform is available on the Grindavikurvegur road to view the fresh lava.

We update our website regularly with the latest eruption news and more. Remember to stay updated. 

Maps of viewing sites and hiking trails can be found on the information site for the eruptions.
