BREAKING: There's an increasing risk of an #eruption in coming days on the Reykjanes Peninsula in #Iceland.
An #earthquake swarm is rattling area near Sundhnjúkagígar and leading to large cracks in the roads.
Three earthquakes >5.0 today; a Civil Protection Alert Phase.
This episode bears similarities to the night before Fagradalsfjall’s eruption in 2021. Per the Icelandic Met Office, it will probably take a few days for magma to reach the surface and an eruption to ensue.
