Monday night’s eruption on Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula could mark the start of over a century of volcanic activity in the region, an American volcanologist who has visited the area multiple times said.
Ben Edwards, a professor of geosciences at Pennsylvania’s Dickinson College who has traveled to the peninsula regularly since 2008, told Newsweek that the volcanic event “seems to be consistent with the start of a new set of ‘fires’ on the peninsula that could last intermittently for 100-plus years.”
