This was the seventh eruption in the area since December 2023. Throughout this period, visitors have continued to enjoy Iceland's diverse natural experiences and attractions.
A unique natural experience
Iceland's volcanic landscape is truly something special. Even during an eruption, there are safe areas where you can experience solidified lava and impressive natural surroundings. If you are in Iceland during an eruption – and the area is accessible – you will have a rare opportunity to witness how new landscapes are formed.
Iceland is open
Iceland remains a safe and accessible destination. The volcanic eruption has been confined to a small area on the Reykjanes Peninsula and has not affected other parts of the country. The authorities continue to monitor the situation closely.
