In Iceland, lava is continuing to build up outside of the protective walls surrounding the northeast edge of the town of Grindavik. As the ongoing Reykjanes volcanic eruption enters its 42nd day, waning activity seemingly contrasts with the looming increasing in eruptive activity expected to occur in the next 3 weeks. Whether this occurs while the current eruption is ongoing is unclear.
