“Iceland may not exist as a country anymore” nope… false information, Iceland sits atop two plates, the North American plate and Eurasian plate and they are slowly but surely drifting away from each other contributing to Iceland’s volcanic history
Here is some information about this
Iceland will always be there, this is false and inaccurate information, yes, there’s a magma corridor under Grandavik in Iceland but Iceland is NOT a supervolcano, the rest of the country is safe
#IcelandNews Can we say for certain that an eruption will take place?
Well, the unfortunate news is that yes, it’s looking likely that there will be an eruption but remember that it could equally mean nothing so the truth is, we don’t know yet
@hectoroto92 Yes, it is still safe to travel to Iceland, just follow the advisories and advice by the Icelandic authorities and be prepared as an eruption could happen at any time
Some evacuated residents have today been allowed back into Grindavik in order to retrieve valuables and necessary items, police in Suournes said earlier.
One person per household has been allowed to enter the area, if they had been contacted to do so.
concern about a possible eruption increased in the early hours when a magnitude-4.8 earthquake hit near the Grindavik area.
The magma could now be just 500m below the town of Grindavik, according to a scientist monitoring the volcanic activity.
