A volcano in Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula roared back to life Saturday night, spewing rivers of molten lava into the sky —marking its fourth eruption since December. Talk about a fiery encore! The latest spectacle stretched a 3-kilometer-long fissure (that’s nearly 2 miles!) between Stora-Skogfell and Hagafell mountains, according to Iceland’s Meteorological Office.
Why it’s wild: Scientists had been tracking a massive buildup of magma—like Earth’s underground lava battery—under the peninsula for weeks. ‘We knew it was coming,’ said one geologist, ‘but nature’s clock is unpredictable.’
Social media lit up with jaw-dropping footage of neon-orange lava fountains, drawing comparisons to everything from ‘Game of Thrones’ dragon glass to Marvel’s Muspelheim. Travel influencers are already dubbing it ‘#VolcanoCore’.
Travel alert: While the eruption isn’t threatening nearby towns like Grindavík (evacuated in November), flights remain unaffected. But officials urge adventurers to keep a safe distance—no TikTok lava selfies, please!
