According to the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO), the eruption remains stable as of Saturday, although lava is advancing westward, placing pressure on dikes and thickening along the resort’s defenses.

Lava continues to flow from three active craters, with the central crater being the most active. No earthquakes have been recorded in the area.

This eruption, which began Wednesday evening, marks the seventh volcanic event on the Reykjanes Peninsula in under a year, continuing a surge of geological activity in the region.

Per AP:

A volcano in southwestern Iceland that has roared back to life after eight centuries of silence has erupted for the seventh time since December, sending molten lava flowing towards the Blue Lagoon spa, a major tourist attraction.

The eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula started with little warning at 11:14 p.m. (2314 GMT) Wednesday and created a fissure around 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) long. The activity is estimated to be considerably smaller than the previous eruption in August, according to Iceland’s meteorological office that monitors seismic activity.
