Massive cracks and fissures in a road following hundreds of small earthquakes in Iceland
For the past two weeks, the Icelandic town of Grindavik has experienced hundreds of small earthquakes, causing road cracks and raising concerns of a potential volcanic eruption. A significant 4.8 magnitude quake recently forced the closure of the Blue Lagoon geothermal resort. Scientists, including geology professor Pall Einarrson, are monitoring a 10 km long, spreading magma corridor located about 5 km underground, with origins in a 2,000-year-old crater network north of the town. Grindavik's residents were briefly evacuated but have since been allowed to return, following a state of emergency declaration due to the escalating seismic activity.
