On December 18, a volcano
On December 18, a volcano emerged on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland, just north of the town of Grindavik, near the world famous Blue Lagoon.
The volcanoes on the Reykjanes peninsula have awakened after eight hundred years. The tectonic plates of Eurasia and North America are moving apart.
The area, 45 minutes from Reykjavik, had been experiencing earthquakes for the past two months, and Grindavik, a town of almost four thousand people, was evacuated on November 10, when it seemed the volcano might emerge under the town.
But it didn’t—at least not immediately. What makes volcanoes so difficult to predict?
