Iceland Evacuates Thousands Amidst Imminent Volcanic Thread
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Southern Iceland experienced around 900 earthquakes on Monday, intensifying concerns about a potential volcanic eruption. This comes after weeks of tens of thousands of tremors in the region. Over the weekend, nearly 4,000 people were evacuated due to fears of molten rock reaching the earth’s surface, posing a risk to a coastal town and a geothermal power station.

Matthew James Roberts, director of the service and research division at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, expressed the prevailing uncertainty: “We have this tremendous uncertainty now; will there be an eruption and if so, what sort of damage will occur.”

Residents of Grindavik detailed their evacuation experiences, describing a constant shaking of the ground, cracked roads, and structural damage to buildings. The town’s 3,800 inhabitants sought refuge with family and friends, with only 50 to 70 people staying in evacuation centers. Evacuees were briefly permitted to return for essential belongings, facing a surreal scene reminiscent of a “war zone.”

The Reykjanes peninsula, a volcanic and seismic hotspot southwest of the capital, has a history of volcanic activity, including eruptions in March 2021, August 2022, and July of the current year. The ongoing seismic events are closely monitored as Iceland prepares for potential volcanic repercussions.
