More than 25 million m³ (883 million ft³) of magma has accumulated beneath Svartsengi, Iceland, since the last eruption in July 2025, the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) reported on April 28, 2026. IMO said ground uplift continues at up to 2 cm (0.8 inches) per month, while magmatic dike propagation toward the Sundhnúkur crater row remains the most likely scenario and could lead to an eruption.
