Recent scientific studies have revealed that volcanic eruptions on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula, which began in 2021 after 800 years of dormancy, may continue for decades or possibly centuries. Researchers from the University of Oregon and partners, in a study published in NatureComms, have used seismic and geochemical data to analyze the ongoing activity. Since 2021, eight eruptions have occurred, posing risks to densely populated areas, critical infrastructure, and impacting daily life, tourism, and utilities. The eruptions, which were dormant for over 750 years, are now expected to become a regular occurrence.

Iceland faces ongoing volcanic activity on the Reykjanes Peninsula, which could last decades. Since 2021, eight eruptions have threatened densely populated areas, posing risks to people and critical infrastructure. Study by @uoregon & partners. https://t.co/rCtrHP3pds
Volcanoes on the Reykjanes peninsula were dormant for more than 750 years, but they’re now likely to erupt on a regular basis for a while. https://t.co/xS6c0ZUCNo
New wave of eruptions on Icelandic peninsula could last for decades or "possibly centuries" Scientists analysed magma and found the eruptions that sprang to life on the Reykjanes Peninsula in 2021 after 800 years of dormancy could last a very long time https://t.co/i7zSOJvsDm
