Grindavík - Crateras de Sundhnúkar

This live camera shows the Sundhnúkar crater row near Grindavík on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland. Reykjanes is now one of the most closely monitored areas in the country: after centuries without eruptions, the peninsula became active again in March 2021 with the Fagradalsfjall eruption, and from late 2023 a series of fissure eruptions opened right in the Sundhnúkar area, with lava flows and fire fountains that forced the evacuation of the town of Grindavík. The camera is a way to follow in real time the lava-field landscape, the opening of new fissures when there is activity and the changes to the terrain. Between eruptions the stream shows Iceland's typical volcanic scenery, fast-changing weather and, on winter nights, the chance of seeing the northern lights. The stream is provided by Live From Iceland.
