GRINDAVÍK
State of alert
The National Commissioner of the Police, in consultation with the Chief of Police in Suðurnes, has decided to lower the Civil Protection level to "alert"
Grindavík
Grindavík was a town of about 3,700 people when it was evacuated on November 10, 2023. Currently, the so-called Reykjanes Fires are ongoing, with a total of ten volcanic eruptions occurring since March 2021. Three have taken place near Fagradalsfjall and seven along the Sundhnúkur crater row. Despite these challenging times, efforts are underway to develop a strategy for preserving the history of the area and determining how Grindavík will be rebuilt for both residents and tourists.
