Threatening eruption in Iceland, an entire city evacuated
8:00 PM MAGMA IN JUST 800 M DEPTH, AN UNDERWATER Eruption Is Feared – According to the latest analysis, the magma corridor (red line) would be only 800 m deep and would extend for 15 km, passing just west of the city of Grindavik and bypassing it. The outbreak could start at any time and increases the likelihood that it could happen at sea. If this were to happen, the eruption modes would change completely due to the water-magma interaction it could be very explosive. Meanwhile, seismic activity has decreased compared to the afternoon.
2:00 PM – HUGE CRACKS IN THE STREETS AND SOIL – They are scary splits which open in the earth in the area affected by the strong earthquakes. These are precisely the fractures that, if they were to expand further, promote the rise of magma. It must be said that theand outbreaks in Iceland they are eruptions profusely A very low explosion index therefore refers to high-risk areas located in the immediate vicinity of the opening of the eruption vent.
Huge cracks have appeared on the Grindav golf course #Iceland due to the many earthquakes they have experienced.

OneAn outbreak is imminent in Icelandto the extent that the civil protection authorities have ordered the complete evacuation of the city of Grindavík (3500 inhabitants) about 60 km from the capital Reykjavik and from Svartsengi power plant. More than a thousand earthquakes have been recorded in the last 24 hours, Tens of thousands in the last few daysThe depths are becoming increasingly shallow, a sign that the fractures in the rock are gradually moving upwards. It is the unmistakable signal of this the magma rises and there could be an eruption near the city or under the city itself in the next few days or hours! Meanwhile, short but violent tremors able to cause great damage over and over again. A real nightmare for the residents of the area.

The earthquakes in Grindavik were so strong.
I believe the largest today was magnitude 5.2. Many people have fled the city. There are evacuation plans in place in the event of an eruption.#icelandearthquake #grindavik #Earthquake #Iceland #Earthquake pic.twitter.com/d5JeQMIGmT– Shadab Javed (@JShadab1) November 11, 2023
