On Wednesday, Iceland's weather office stated that in the last 24 hours, around 2,200 earthquakes were recorded in the vicinity of Reykjavik, the capital city. The tremors started around 4:00 pm beneath Mount Fagradalsfjall on the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland's southwestern tip, where two eruptions have occurred in the past two years. This substantial seismic activity strongly suggests the potential for an imminent volcanic eruption.
