President Gudni Th. Johannesson said in a televised address late Sunday that “a daunting period of upheaval has begun on the Reykjanes peninsula,” where a long-dormant volcanic system has awakened.

A volcano on the peninsula erupted for the second time in less than a month on Sunday morning. Authorities had ordered residents to leave the fishing town of Grindavik hours earlier as a swarm of small earthquakes indicated an imminent eruption.

Geophysicist Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson said Monday morning that the eruption had “decreased considerably” overnight, but that it was impossible to say when it would end.

Grindavik, a town of 3,800 people about 50 kilometers (30 miles) southwest of the capital, Reykjavik, was previously evacuated in November when the Svartsengi volcanic system awakened after almost 800 years.

The volcano eventually erupted on Dec. 18, sending lava flowing away from Grindavik. Residents were allowed to return to their homes on Dec. 22. 

Since then, emergency workers have been building defensive walls that have stopped much of the lava flow from the new eruption short of the town.

No one has been killed in the eruptions, but a workman is missing after reportedly falling into a crack opened by the volcano.

“We don’t yet know how this eruption will unfold, but we must still take those actions that are within our power,” the president said. 

“We continue to hope for as good an outcome as possible, in the face of these tremendous forces of nature,” he added. "We will carry on with our responsibilities and we will continue to stand together.”

Iceland, which sits above a volcanic hot spot in the North Atlantic, averages one eruption every four to five years. The most disruptive in recent times was the 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, which spewed clouds of ash into the atmosphere and disrupted trans-Atlantic air travel for months. 

The latest eruption isn’t expected to release large amounts of ash into the air. Operations at Keflavík Airport are continuing as normal, said Gudjon Helgason, spokesman for airport operator Isavia.

καταστροφή 

Dear Caroline:

As you probably know, in the tragic plays of Greek antiquity, catastrophe refers to the resolution of a plot and/or intrigue, at the end of the poem. Its literal etymology, though, from κατα-, 'down', + στρέϕειν, 'to turn', matches more commonly the uses we give it today. The overturning of nature is the subject of this little, youthful piece of yours. You would have been 16 in May 2010, wouldn't you?

Repetition is a function of the cosmos, but also a trope we like to project in literature (and a very old one too, with variations. Oral-formulaic poetry builds the successive lines through incremental repetition). By some ironic twist of fate, as a write these lines, there is a follow-up to the 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull in the Reykjanes volcano, which has been spewing lava for the last two or three days, and making it to the news. It doesn't seem likely, though, that the current eruption os going to paralyze flight travel.

I remember reading somewhere that in your youth you had moved around with your family, and even settled for a time in Munich. I would guess you could have composed the poem when going or returning, stuck for some long waiting period in some airport. The incident you mention in the last lines, though, seems disconnected - some other instance in which tap water became unavailable for drinking for some reason. The final anecdote is rather funny: I can really picture your youthful self trying to persuade your parents to use expensive, bottled water for tooth-brushing.

A different recursion has been another type of catastrophe, this time not natural, but social, that befell you last year, and that has mostly subdued in the present. This year's Christmas holidays will probably have you under a different mood, and with a burden at least partially lifted from your shoulders. It was Tolkien who established a distinction between catastrophe and the eucatastrophe, the latter being a classical catastrophe with an unexpected positive outcome for the protagonist. I can only hope that what you've been through will prove, in the long run, an example of the second sort.

Quote:

I coined the word 'eucatastrophe': the sudden happy turn in a story which pierces you with a joy that brings tears (which I argued it is the highest function of fairy-stories to produce). And I was there led to the view that it produces its peculiar effect because it is a sudden glimpse of Truth, your whole nature chained in material cause and effect, the chain of death, feels a sudden relief as if a major limb out of joint had suddenly snapped back.

Tolkien, Letter 89

Welcome to the news channel of the Angry Nature,Today we will tell you about Geldingadalir volcano, Iceland,, A massive volcano erupting close to a global travel hub, Iceland’s Keflavik Airport, led to close monitoring by officials and sparked fascination from people who ventured near the bright-orange lava flows despite warnings. The Fagradalsfjall volcano in southwest Iceland erupted at 1:18 p.m. local time Wednesday, according to the Icelandic Meteorological Office,which urged people to stay away from the sparsely populated area on the Reykjanes peninsula — though some still went up close to snap photographs with their children and fly drones. I just made it to the volcano … my mind is completely blown, it’s crazy,” one onlooker told the Associated Press. “The last thing that I would have imagined this morning when I woke up would be to be standing and looking at this … it is so beautiful.” Another man who had flocked to see the same volcano erupt last year said it was “absolutely incredible,” describing the lava as a mesmerizing “dancing fire.” A massive volcano erupting close to a global travel hub, Iceland’s Keflavik Airport, led to close monitoring by officials and sparked fascination from people who ventured near the bright-orange lava flows despite warnings.

Iceland Volcano Eruption!!! Look at the damage!

Iceland Volcano Eruption: A volcano near Iceland's capital city and primary airport has begun to erupt. According to the Icelandic Meteorological Office, the eruption is around 20 miles southwest of the city of Reykjavik, close to the Fagradalsfjall mountain. Molten lava is seen erupting from a small mountain fracture in a live video feed from the scene. The eruption comes after several days of minor tremors along a peninsula that is considered to be a seismic hotspot. A 500–750 metre long breach in the same region erupted in stunning lava jets in March of last year, and activity persisted into September. Although it was the first to occur in the region in at least 800 years, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are nothing new in the nation. The island has an eruption on average every four to five years and is situated atop a volcanic hotspot in the North Atlantic. Iceland's airline industry is on high alert due to recent volcanic activity near Keflavik Airport, which handles all international air traffic in the country. In order to prohibit aeroplanes from flying directly over the location, a "code red" has been issued; however, this may be lifted following additional research. It is recognised that Icelandic eruptions can have a negative impact on European aviation. When the Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted in 2010, it released clouds of ash and particles into the atmosphere that grounded flights between Europe and North America for several days. Millions of travellers were stranded as more than 100,000 planes were grounded. As of right now, no airline flights are being impacted, according to Iceland's national airport authority.

The Reykjanes peninsula in southwest Iceland contains the Krysuvik volcanic system, which includes Mount Fagradalsfjall. The most active number of volcanic systems in Europe is 32, and it is found in Iceland. On average, an eruption has occurred in the nation every five years. A rift in the ocean floor that separates the tectonic plates of Europe and North America runs across the large island near the Arctic Circle. In part, the movement of these plates is what causes Iceland to experience such high levels of volcanic activity. Every four to five years, Iceland, which is situated atop a volcanic hotspot in the North Atlantic, experiences an eruption. The Eyjafjallajokull volcano eruption in 2010 was the most upsetting recent event; it blasted clouds of ash and dust into the skies and halted air transport between Europe and North America for days due to worries the ash could harm jet engines. Millions of people were stranded because more than 100,000 flights were cancelled.

Volcanic eruptions in the past

The longest volcanic eruption to have occurred in Iceland in the past 50 years has been officially proclaimed to be over. Thousands of tourists came to see the spectacle and the lava flows. According to Brynds r Gsladóttir, a natural hazards expert at the Icelandic Meteorological Institute, "this eruption is now deemed over" because it has been three months since the last emission of lava (IMO). However, the organisation that keeps track of volcanic activity warned trekkers to exercise caution and said it will keep an eye on the area. On March 19, lava started to erupt near Mount Fagradalsfjall, which is located about 25 miles (40 km) south-west of the country's capital Reykjavik. However, this eruption, Iceland's sixth in the last 20 years, lasted six months and was the longest eruption ever recorded. On September 18, shortly after setting that record, the lava started to emerge. However, this didn't happen until more than 140 million cubic metres of magma had spilled into the valleys of Geldingadalur. The eruption, which was relatively simple to reach, developed into a significant tourist destination, drawing more than 350,000 tourists, according to the Icelandic Tourist Board. There could be more eruptions in the vicinity, according to experts. The IMO stated that "history teaches us that volcanic activity there occurs in cycles." After raising the eruption alert level to orange two weeks prior, the institute last week reduced the risk of an eruption of Grmsvötn, another Icelandic volcano. The most active volcano in Iceland, which erupts on average every five to ten years, is located in the island's centre beneath a massive glacier in a less travelled area.
