Last month, a new eruption began on the Sundhnúkagigaröin crater row on Reykjanes Peninsula, the largest since the activity started in the Svartsengi system in December 2023. Witnessing its start on webcams was surreal Although I missed the initial moment

Explanation of the Phenomenon:
The eruption on the Sundhnukagigaröin crater row on Reykjanes Peninsula is part of ongoing volcanic activity in Iceland, particularly in the Svartsengi volcanic system. This system has seen increased activity since December 2023.
Volcanic eruptions occur when magma from beneath the Earth's crust rises to the surface, releasing gases, ash, and lava. These eruptions are often monitored via webcams and other technologies, allowing scientists and the public to witness the event in real time. The eruption's intensity and scale can vary, with this latest one being the largest observed in the region, showcasing the dynamic and powerful nature of volcanic processes.
