In southwest Iceland, a volcano erupted late on Monday, following weeks of intense seismic activity. This eruption near the Reykjanes peninsula has caused concern for the nearby town of Grindavik, home to nearly 4,000 inhabitants. Before the eruption, authorities evacuated the city and closed the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa, anticipating a significant volcanic event. The eruption, which began only a few kilometers from Grindavik, has created a 3.5 km long crack in the earth's surface, rapidly growing and posing a potential threat to the town. The Icelandic Meteorological Office reported that the magma is moving southwest, potentially towards Grindavik. The eruption is characterized by a high volume of lava flow, estimated at 100 to 200 cubic meters per second, significantly more than previous eruptions. Despite the eruption, Reykjavik's Keflavik International Airport remains operational, albeit with several delays. Local authorities have raised their alert levels and warned the public to avoid the area. Iceland, located between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, is known for its seismic and volcanic activity. The Reykjanes peninsula has experienced several eruptions recently, including a six-month-long event in 2021 and shorter eruptions in 2022 and 2023. Meanwhile, the Marapi volcano's eruption in Indonesia has led to tragic consequences. The volcano in West Sumatra erupted for the second day, halting the search for 12 missing climbers. Before the renewed eruption, the bodies of 11 climbers were recovered, but the volcanic activity hindered their evacuation. The volcano, which has been at the third highest alert level since 2011, erupted initially on Sunday, sending clouds of hot ash into the air. Despite being prohibited from climbing to the peak, many climbers often break the rules, leading to dangerous situations. Approximately 75 climbers were stranded during the eruption, with 52 rescued, including three on Monday. The eruption has affected nearby villages and towns, covering them in volcanic debris and ash. Authorities have distributed masks and advised residents to wear eyeglasses for protection against the ash. Marapi, known for its sudden eruptions, has been active since 2004, occurring every two to four years. The volcano is part of Indonesia's vast array of over 120 active volcanoes in the seismically active Pacific "Ring of Fire." These volcanic events highlight the unpredictable and often rapid nature of volcanic eruptions, posing significant challenges to preparedness and response efforts. In Iceland, the situation remains tense as authorities monitor the lava flow's direction, while in Indonesia, the focus is on rescue operations and supporting affected communities. These incidents serve as a reminder of the power of nature and the importance of vigilance in areas prone to volcanic activity.
