After erupting almost every month, it has now been more than a year since the Reykjanes volcano's last eruption. And yet, magma is not only still accumulating underneath it, but its volume has surpassed any prior eruption since it reactivated in 2020. So, why hasn't the Reykjanes volcano erupted again? Today's video discusses 1 possibility. This video's thumbnail shows an image taken in 2024 where I was standing in a designated safe area. Do not walk on the still cooling lava flows (which I did not do when I was there).
