For many years we’ve been sending our clients to experience the splendour of Iceland’s volatile landscape – brooding volcanoes, seething geothermal springs, steaming lava flows and, from time to time, live eruptions!
These tend to occur once every five years, but are also fickle and hard to predict precisely. Eruptions may last only days or sometimes, months and can be part of a recurring period of activity. This is currently being seen on the Reykjanes Peninsula in south west Iceland, where between March 2021 and November 2024, there were no fewer than ten fissure eruptions. The latest eruption, started on 16 July 2025 southeast of Litla-Skógfell away from infrastructure. It ended on 5 August.
