Description
"This is just something that is going to be happening for the next few years. We will have to live with it!" says Helga Gudjonsdottir, a 33 year old Icelandic mother commenting on the latest volcanic eruption. In their latest update on Tuesday, the Icelandic Meteorological Office said the eruption was weakening. The Reykjanes peninsula had not experienced an eruption for eight centuries until 2021. Since then, eruptions have struck in 2021, 2022 and earlier this year. Volcanologists believe that it could be the start of a new era of activity in the region. "The only bad thing about this situation is the people who had to leave their homes" says Anna Dora, a shop owner, referring to the fishing port of Grindavik, which was evacuated on November 11.
