Sundhnúksgígar

Sundhnúksgígar or Sundhnúkagígar are volcanic craters east of Eldvörp–Svartsengi in the island nation of Iceland. They are named after Sundhnúkur, which is a hill just south of Sundhnúksgígar. The craters are aligned in a row called Sundhnúksgígaröðin. The first eruption in the crater row took place about 2000 years ago. In December 2023, as part of the Sundhnúkur eruptions, some craters began to erupt. On 14 January 2024, a second eruption began as a result seismic activity that began from the Sundhnúksgígar craters. By July 2024 there had been five eruptions.
