The volcano was triggered after a series of seismic activity was measured near the north of the coastal town of Grindavik.
The volcano was triggered after a series of seismic activity was measured near the north of the coastal town of Grindavik. The country’s meteorological department maintained that “intense earthquake activity” triggered the volcano. The Guardian reported an accumulation of 20 million cubic meters of molten rock in the magma chamber beneath Svartsengi. Notably, a power plant in Svartsengi supplies electricity and water to approximately 30,000 people on the peninsula.
