Around 25 million cubic metres of #magma have accumulated under #Svartsengi on #Iceland's #Reykjanes Peninsula since the last #eruption in July: the largest volume measured since the start of #volcanic activity along the #Sundhnúksgígaröð #crater row.

Magma accumulation beneath Svartsengi now largest since eruption sequence began, Iceland More than 23 million m³ (812 million feet³) of magma have accumulated beneath the Svartsengi volcanic system on Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula since the July 2025 eruption.

#VolcanicEruption in #Svartsengi in #Iceland has been over due for some time and now reports popping up that its got the highest amount of #magma since the active phase started

More magma could mean a larger eruption - RÚV.is The volume of magma underground has not been greater since the start of eruptions at Sundhnúksgígar on the Reykjanes peninsula. An eruption is still considered likely in the coming days or weeks.

Could another #volcanic #eruption on #Iceland's #Reykjanes peninsula happen soon, and could it be one of the biggest? More #magma has now accumulated beneath #Svartsengi than at any point since the eruption sequence began.

A gps uplift chart for the area of Svartsengi Power Station, Iceland, showing 40cm of uplift and subsidence over the last year during 3 eruptions of the current eruption cycle of the 2024-2024 Sundhnúksgígar eruption event.

Its bonkers to me looking at the GPS uplift under the Blue Lagoon/Svartsengi Power station right now. Every time the volcano nearby erupts, the ground drops over 30 cm, and as it refills, it gains another 5 cm that it can rise.

#Magma under #Svartsengi in #Iceland reached 11 million cubic metres, just as the Icelandic Met Office had predicted. That is the same amount that escaped from Svartsengi in the last eruption. The likelihood of a new #eruption therefore increases.

Magma accumulation at 4km depth

The likelyhood of a new #eruption at #svartsengi in #Iceland has increased. As of today, it is assessed that the lower bound of 11 million m3 is reached today and the upper bound of 23 million m3 on 18 December. The Orange color is when earlier eruptions took place.
