Fagradalsfjall

Fagradalsfjall, eruption in Geldingadalir and Meradalir in Reykjanes peninsula.

Fagradalsfjall.

On Friday Geldingadalir eruption March 19th. 2021 at around 20.45 (9,45 p.m.) an eruption started in Geldingadalir close to the mountain Fagradalsfjall in Reykjanes. This is only about 30 km from the capital Reykjavik. The

last eruption in Reykjanes was about the year 1240, but the last eruption in this area, close to Fagradalsfjall was over 6000 years ago.

This is only a few km from the town Grindavik and the Blue lagoon, but in the mountains so the eruption can continue for a long time before it threatens any man made constructions. This eruption can continue for months, years or even decades as we have many eruptions before lasting many years or decades.

The eruption is now coming from three fissures and the lava running into Geldingadalir and a stream of lava to Meradalir.

Location.

To reach the eruption a hiking path has been made from Suðurstrandarvegur road no 427, a few km east of the town of Grindavik.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering
what all is required to get set up?
I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?

I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% positive.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Appreciate it

Uhhm no not really, this is just a standard wordpress site with a good template which we bought on https://themeforest.net/ for just around 150 dollars or 200 $. The main work is in the material and setup which can be cumbersome.
