Hazard map

Hazard map

Valid from August 10th, 2023

We would like to remind anyone visiting or accessing the eruption site, that the eruption site is still dangerous.

  • High temperatures characterize the lava field. The solidified crust can be very thin in places with very hot and molten lava underneath.

  • The edges of the new lava field are unstable and large chunks of lava can fall sudden.

  • The new lava continues degassing and hazardous gases can collect in depressions

     As a result of past activity there are fractures in the area that pose danger.
