Iceland volcanic eruption: 12th incident near capital Reykjavik in 4 years; tourists evacuated
Wednesday, 16 July 2025 () Iceland's Sundhnukur volcano, near Reykjavik, erupted, marking the nation's 12th volcanic event since 2021. This fissure eruption prompted evacuations from the Blue Lagoon spa and Grindavik, a town previously abandoned due to volcanic threats. While lava flows southeast, Reykjavik faces no immediate danger, and air traffic remains unaffected. Experts anticipate continued regional eruptions for decades or even centuries.
