Volcanic activity information

Iceland continues to showcase its dynamic geological landscape, with recent volcanic activity drawing global attention. The Reykjanes Peninsula, which reawakened in 2021 after nearly 800 years of dormancy, has seen a series of eruptions through to 2025. Most recently, volcanic activity near Grindavík has resulted in significant changes to the region, impacting nearby landmarks such as the Blue Lagoon, infrastructure, and local communities. These events have prompted rapid emergency responses, showcasing Iceland’s world-class preparedness in the face of nature’s unpredictability.

Positioned at the boundary of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, Iceland’s unique geological setting gives rise to its rich volcanic history. Despite the challenges posed by these natural forces, the country has demonstrated exceptional resilience, maintaining safety and minimizing disruptions. Critical services, including operations at Reykjavík and Keflavík International Airport, remain largely unaffected, thanks to robust monitoring and early warning systems.

In light of these events, we’ve adjusted our offerings to prioritize safety while continuing to provide unforgettable experiences. The Blue Lagoon may be unavailable at times due to ongoing volcanic developments, but we’re excited to present the Sky Lagoon as a stunning alternative. This thermal spa offers breathtaking views and the perfect setting to relax and connect with Iceland’s raw beauty.

Whether you’re seeking adventure or tranquility, Iceland remains a destination where safety and unforgettable experiences go hand in hand.
