A large and extensive fissure has emerged in various locations in and around #Grindavík in #Iceland due to magma intrusion. Photos taken at 16:30 on Friday at the southwest corner of Grindavík reveal a shadowy development within the town limits.
The fissure, previously known as Stamphólsgjá, has significantly widened, leading to soil collapse. This widening is directly linked to the magma intrusion, causing substantial slippage on Friday. The fissure cuts through the middle of the town, disappearing under structures. Limited footage from the weekend indicates significant damage, including near the Grindavík sports center.
