This camera is situated on the southern tip of Þorbjörn. Þorbjörn is a 243 m high volcanic mountain next to the town of Grindavík. For our 4K full-screen livestreams from Iceland, visit the AfarTV channel LIVE page (5 Iceland cameras) : https://www.youtube.com/@afartv/streams

IMO August 18: Land uplift and magma accumulation continue

Land uplift and magma accumulation are continuing at Svartsengi. The development remains slow but steady. The latest model calculations indicate that approximately 29.1 million cubic metres of magma have accumulated beneath Svartsengi since the beginning of the last eruption in July 2025. The uncertainty range is between 28.3 and 29.9 million cubic metres.

As magma continues to accumulate and pressure increases within the system, the most likely scenario is that a magma intrusion will propagate from Svartsengi into the Sundhnúkur crater row. This could lead to a volcanic eruption. As before, the warning time could be short. Previous eruptions have had warning times ranging from approximately 20 minutes to just over four hours.

Cam E provides an expansive panoramic view of the active volcanic region surrounding Grindavík, capturing geothermal steam plumes rising from the Svartsengi system and the dramatic Icelandic landscape. This is an essential real-time monitoring feed for tracking volcanic and geothermal activity in one of Iceland's most geologically dynamic areas. Monitor the ongoing magma accumulation and landscape changes as they unfold.
