Impending Eruption worries in Iceland
#2
I've been watching this too:
Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland, Activity Updates: Feb 2024 Eruption | VolcanoDiscovery

Quote: The Icelandic Met Office has recently released an updated hazard assessment map for the Grindavík area due to the elevated seismic activity. The risk levels have increased in zones 2, 3, 4, and 6.

The most critical danger zones are as follows:

Zones 2 and 3 are classified as very high risk, indicated by the color purple.
Zones 4 and 6 are designated as high risk, represented by the color red.
Zone 1 and 5 are considered to have a considerable risk, denoted by the color orange, while Zone 7 is assessed as having a moderate risk, represented by the color yellow.

The map is valid from 2 March until 3 March 17:00 local time.

The situation has been worse, but the question of, "will this be the big one" means much more in Iceland where an eruption can mean the difference between "Stærra svæði eða ekkert landsvæði" (More land or No land)
