Following the 900 earthquakes and other significant seismic activity afflicting the south of Iceland on Monday, concerns of a potentially cataclysmic volcanic eruption have emerged. The small fishing village of Grindavik, which falls in the shadow of the Gradalsfjall volcano, was evacuated over the weekend after large cracks began appearing in roads and a 9-mile-long river of magma was discovered running through the peninsula. A defense wall was constructed around the Svartsengi geothermal power plant on Tuesday, November 14th in an effort to protect it from lava flows in the event of an eruption. Concerns of potential flight disruptions have arisen, citing a similar situation with the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in 2010, though no official interruptions have been documented as of yet.
