Recent eruptions in Iceland confirm a long-dormant faultline has reawakened, threatening to emit lava with little warning1. The island straddles the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, separating the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.

The eruptions pose a threat to the nearby Svartsengi geothermal plant and have forced the closure of the Blue Lagoon, a popular tourist destination
