and destroying three structures. This eruption only lasted two days; however, as of 17 January 2024, there was still measurable magma influx below Sundhnúkar and Grindavík, which meant that the possibility of additional fissures opening in the coming days remained elevated. The next eruption commenced on the early morning of 8th February 2024, stopped the next day, and was followed by a diking event that did not reach the surface on 2 March 2024. On the evening of 16th March a further eruption occurred between Hagafell and Stóra-Skógfell. This eruption ceased on 9th of May, having not increased in power, as some speculated might be the case given the continued evidence for magma accumulation. At 12:46 UTC on 29 May 2024, a further vigorous eruption commenced. After 24 days with a volume and area of its lava flows that were the largest of the five eruptions to date, it ceased on 22nd June. The 6th eruption in the series started about 21:25 UTC 22nd August 2024 and finished on 6th September 2024.

October the alert level for aviation was reassessed to yellow. By 1 November, 10,000 tremors had already been recorded, including 26 exceeding a magnitude of 3. At the same time, the ground rose by more than five centimeters, mainly at around 1.5 km (0.93 mi) to the south-west of the Blue Lagoon and northwest of Þorbjörn. These phenomena were interpreted as the intrusion of magma at a depth of four to five kilometres (2.5 to 3 mi) below the sector most affected by soil uplift. Such events had already occurred in 2020 and 2022 in the same sector without this leading to an eruption. On 9 November, seismicity reached levels close to 5 on the Richter scale, which led to the decision to close the Blue Lagoon as a precaution. The frequency and intensity of the earthquakes dramatically increased on 10 November, with 20,000 tremors recorded by that time, the largest of which exceeded magnitude 5.3.

From the beginning of the earthquakes until 10 November, the land at Svartsengi rose by more than 10 cm (4 in) within a span of 16 days. Following a substantial subsidence of 35 cm (14 in) on that date, a new phase of activity led to a land rise of about 30 cm (12 in) by December 8, which surpassed the level that was previously reached before 10 November. 139: 464: 1471: 428:
During the Holocene, the Svartsengi experienced between twelve and fifteen eruptive periods – a periodicity of approximately 1,000 years – as evidenced by the lava flows associated with it. These recurring activities are represented by a close succession of eruptions over a period of several decades.

The proximity to the most populated cities in the country, including Reykjavík, and the significant geothermal potential of the site led to the construction of the Svartsengi Power Station, commissioned in 1977. The water discharged near the power plant was heavily loaded with minerals, most notably

underneath the area caused a swarm of intense earthquakes to begin. Several hundred tremors were detected daily with hypocenters between 6 and 1.5 kilometres (3.7 and 0.9 mi) deep, the vast majority of magnitude less than 3 but a few exceeding this value, up to 4.5 for the most powerful. On 27

that the eruption had happened quickly and appeared to be "quite a large event". Following an earthquake swarm warning in the early hours of the 14 January 2024, those that had returned to the town of Grindavík were re-evacuated shortly before further fissure eruptions, with lava entering the town

Lacking a central volcanic cone, the Svartsengi volcanic system consists of a set of fissures, cones and volcanic craters aligned over 30 km (19 mi) in length and 7 km (4.3 mi) in width, oriented north-east to south-west and surrounded by fields of lava: Þorbjörn (243 m

stated that the eruption stemmed from a fissure with a length of about 3.5 km (2.2 mi), with lava flowing at a rate of around 100 to 200 cubic metres per second (3,500 to 7,100 cu ft/s). An Icelandic Civil Defence official told
