Clicking on the image enables mouse-over with more detail where shading also shows: other fissure swarms, central volcanoes, calderas subglacial terrain above 1,100 m (3,600 ft), seismically active areas between 1995 and 2007.
The eruption was small and effusive, from a 500–800 m long fissure; National Geographic predicted that this volcano was unlikely to threaten "any population centers". [2] The next small fissure eruption in the Fagradalsfjall volcanic system started in the Meradalir valleys on 1 August 2022 and ceased on 22 August 2022. [32]
And the tuff cone from Victoria Land, Antarctica, is placed next to known granitic plutonic complexes and seems to be a parasitic cone of a stratovolcano, whereas Keilir is located adjacent to presently active volcanic systems and looks as if it were placed on top of the shield volcano Þráinskjöldur, though the last one is younger than the ...

Accordingly, volcanoes such as Þorbjörn have been assigned by authors to either name. [15] Fagradalsfjall: RVB: Langhóll, Fagradalshraun, Geldingadalir: nil: Fissure swarm with effusive lava flows. Crater rows with spatter, scoria and some tuff cones, tindars and hyaloclastite hills. [47] The smaller Fagradalsfjall volcanic system is often ...
The country has been shaken by more than 800 small earthquakes, prompting fears that the tremors could disrupt the Fagradalsfjall volcano on the Reykjanes peninsula in the southwest of the country ...
