According to the recommendations of the Chief of Police, the eruption sites in Reykjanes Peninsula are not accessible to the public under the current conditions.

Air quality at the eruption sites is poor, with pollution from the eruption and wildfires. The conditions are particularly hazardous for children and vulnerable groups. Check the current air quality.

There are no organized parking lots or viewing facilities. Drivers are urged not to park their cars on or near the Reykjanesbraut road.

It is extremely challenging to navigate the area. The site is an old training area for the U.S. military, and there may be hidden explosives.

You can follow updates on the official source for safe travel in Iceland and check road conditions.

Park Rangers from the Environment Agency are stationed at the closure post and provide information about the conditions. They are in contact with the police and rescue teams. These preventive measures have effectively reduced accidents since the spring of 2021.
