The Reykjanes Peninsula started to erupt on March 19th, 2021. At the time, the eruption lasted for six months, creating a large lava plateau and numerous craters.
After three weeks of over 50.000 earthquakes in the area, this eruption was the first in the area since the 14th century.

On August 3rd, 2022, a new eruption started when a new crater started forming and new lava was added to the already extensive lava plateau.

On July 10th, 2023, the third eruption in this chain of events started forming and new lava was added to the extensive lava plateau.

On December 18th, 2023, the fourth eruption in this chain of events started stronger than any one of the previous eruptions from 2021.

A new eruption took place in the area in January 2024, with more likely to happen in the near future.
