Sundhnúksgígar

Sundhnúksgígar (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈsʏntˌn̥uksˌciːɣar̥]) or Sundhnúkagígar are volcanic craters east of Eldvörp–Svartsengi in the island nation of Iceland. They are named after Sundhnúkur, which is a hill just south of Sundhnúksgígar. The craters are aligned in a row called Sundhnúksgígaröðin. The first eruption in the crater row took place about 2000 years ago. In December 2023, as part of the Sundhnúkur eruptions, some craters began to erupt.[1] On 14 January 2024, a second eruption began as a result seismic activity that began from the Sundhnúksgígar craters.[2]
