Earth ChangesIceland volcano eruption: Families and tourists evacuated as Sundhnúkur spews lava Posted on July 31, 2025 by Administrator Families and tourists have been dramatically evacuated from towns – and a luxury hotel – amid fears a notorious volcano has erupted again. Magma flow has begun in the Sundhnukur volcano on the Reykjanes Peninsula, near the fishing town of Grindavík, Iceland. The Icelandic Meteorological Office says this is a sign the volcano will erupt, following eight previous eruptions since December 2023. In April of this year the volcano also erupted dramatically.
