The Icelandic Meteorological Office has unveiled new lava risk maps, pinpointing high-risk zones in Southwest Iceland susceptible to volcanic eruptions and lava flows. Grindavík and Hveragerði are classified as high-risk areas, with Grindavík uniquely vulnerable to both eruptions and lava flows. The assessment spans regions from Reykjanestá to Ölfusá and extends north to Hvalfjörður, highlighting the potential risk to critical infrastructure such as geothermal power plants and water sources. These findings are rooted in extensive geological data and 47,000 simulations, designed to support long-term planning and risk mitigation rather than predicting specific events.
