Iceland, a land shaped by volcanic activity, experienced a surprising eruption in 2021 after 800 years of dormancy. Scientists are collecting lava samples to understand the re-emergence of volcanism in the Reykjanes Peninsula. The eruptions, though not from traditional volcanoes, pose a risk to populated areas. By analyzing the chemical composition of the lava, researchers hope to predict future eruptions. The collected samples have revealed similarities in the chemical makeup of two active fissure systems, shedding light on the complex and dynamic nature of the volcanic activity. Despite the challenges, scientists are committed to unraveling the mysteries hidden beneath the earth's surface.
