(Bloomberg) – A volcanic eruption near a damaged fishing city in Iceland has resumed.
The Met Office said that a fissure opened on the ground at 3:54 am on Wednesday, the Met office said on its website. Officials said that the lava is flowing south -east with a fissure of about 700 meters (800 yards) and this time there is no threat to any infrastructure.
The southwestern corner of Iceland has experienced repeated lava burst since waking up from 800-year-old Damen in 2021. This volcanic phenomenon is ninth since December 2023, when a small fishing city began exploded at the door of the city, Grindavik forced most cities in the city to move, which make about 1% of the country’s population.
Jwalamukhi at the University of Iceland, Arman Hoskuladson said, “It is lucky because the explosion is in the remote part in the area.” “We are looking at the development of the explosion.”
Bizarre explosions have not harmed air travel.
One of the most disruptive geological phenomena in Iceland’s recent history occurred in 2010 when volcanic Aizfzaljokul experienced an explosive explosion in the southern part of the country. It released a plum of ash so huge that it put air traffic across Europe for weeks, resulting in canceled 100,000 flights and affected over 10 million people.
The Iceland is one of the world’s volcanic hot spots due to its position on the Middle-Autotentic ridge, where North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are separated. Scientists have warned that a new era of activity has begun on the Recines Peninsula.
The speed of outbreak since 2021 is “unusual but unprecedented,” Hoskuladson said. Their base case remains that even small -scale explosions continue to move forward.
